Friendship Manor Plans New Home for Future Senior Community in Isla Vista

ISLA VISTA, Calif. (KEYT) - After years of searching for room to grow, Friendship Manor has found a new site where it hopes to build its future home.

The longtime senior community is planning a move after an apartment project it had been pursuing became too expensive to build. That unexpected setback led to a new opportunity and a partnership in Isla Vista that leaders believe better meets the organization’s long-term needs.

The proposed location is being designed with older adults in mind while preserving the close-knit community that residents value.
