Ocean View Plaza is in Half Moon Bay, within walking distance of the historic downtown. It was built in 1968, and Lesley Senior Communities took over management in 2011. The building has had major improvements in recent years to keep it affordable, safe, and in good shape.
There are 50 apartments - 42 studios and 8 one-bedroom homes. All are at ground level and each has its own patio area. There is on-site parking, and public transportation is just steps away.
Residents have a large social hall. An active Residents' Association uses it often for potluck lunches, entertainment, and other social events. Management staff are available during regular business hours, and emergency maintenance repairs are provided 24 hours a day.
Ocean View Plaza provides housing only. There is no meal program, and it is not licensed to provide assisted care services. Applicants must earn less than the Very Low income limit set by HUD. No rents are stated on the page.

How much does independent living cost?
There is no single price for independent living. Rent is set by each community and varies a lot by city. The cost survey this site uses does not publish a national median for independent living, so we do not print one. Medicare does not pay for it, so families pay the rent out of pocket. See our guide to independent living costs and who pays for the full picture.
Does Medicare pay for independent living?
No. Medicare does not pay rent or housing costs. It pays for your medical care while you live there, like doctor visits, hospital care, and home health visits. The housing itself is paid out of pocket.
What is the difference between independent living and assisted living?
Independent living is housing for older adults who can live on their own. It gives a private home, meals in some places, and social activities. It does not include help with daily tasks. Assisted living adds that help. Staff help with bathing, dressing, and medicine, and staff are on hand day and night.
Who else pays for independent living besides Medicare?
Families pay the rent out of pocket. No insurance pays for independent living rent. Low-income senior apartments funded by HUD keep rent lower for people who qualify. Some veterans put VA pension payments toward the rent.
