About This Building

LaBelle: An Urban Sanctuary Amidst Downtown Highland Park's Revival LaBelle stands tall as a sanctuary in the heart of downtown Highland Park, amidst a vibrant resurgence highlighted by the construction of a new fire department and the revitalization of the area with the opening of new businesses. This 10-story high-rise, completed in 1973, comprises 212 units consisting of both spacious bedrooms and cozy studio apartments. Each floor boasts its own convenient laundry facility. Age qualification for residency at LaBelle is 55 and above, with a special provision from HUD allowing only 10% of the total apartments (22) to be rented to individuals between 55 and 61 years old. Due to its popularity, there is typically a waiting list for this specific age range. Notably, LaBelle has garnered national recognition as "A Community of Quality" by the National Affordable Housing Management Association. This distinction signifies that LaBelle has met specific criteria established by the esteemed national award. At LaBelle, the cooperative is designed to be democratically run by its members, who reside in the building. Every year, elections are held to appoint officers, floor representatives, and address financial matters. This democratic structure is implemented not only at LaBelle but across all 56 buildings managed by CSI Support and Development Services. Members of LaBelle are enriched by a vibrant community life, engaging in various activities such as floor parties, holiday gatherings, bingo nights, and movie screenings. The community also organizes trips to shopping centers and casinos, occasionally hosting events at other buildings or traveling to participate in card games. For transportation needs, there is a van available. Conveniently situated just 500 feet from Woodward Avenue and Manchester, numerous amenities are within walking distance, including banks, strip malls, grocery stores, and even a police mini station. For the security and peace of mind of its residents, there is a front desk staffed by volunteer members who ensure that visitors, vendors, and medical personnel sign in upon entering. Additionally, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., a professional security team is in place. Gated parking is provided at the rear of the building. LaBelle is a 100% subsidized community, ensuring that members never pay more than 30% of their income towards rent.
