Welcome to Culpepper Garden! Culpepper Garden is an award-winning, affordable, nonprofit residential community in Arlington with 340 apartments for seniors aged 62 and older.
Culpepper Garden offers an affordable option. We are a nonprofit retirement housing community located on five pleasant acres in the heart of Arlington. Our residents are low- and moderate-income seniors ages 62 and older.
We have two independent living facilities where 267 seniors enjoy safe and convenient apartment living. In addition, our supportive services center offers 24-hour support to another 73 residents who need help with the activities of daily living.
Culpepper Garden is within walking distance of shopping, churches and parks. There’s a free bus service and a courtesy phone for taxi service on site.
In 1975, Culpepper Garden opened its first independent living residence with 204 apartments. To meet increasing demand, it added 63 independent living apartments in 1992.
Responding to the growing need for supportive services, Culpepper Garden in 2000 proudly opened its assisted living wing with 73 apartments. It was the first low-income assisted living residence of its type in the United States, and it remains the only such facility in Arlington County.
Culpepper Garden is located on five acres in the heart of Arlington. It is named in honor of Dr. Charles Culpepper, a botanist who owned the property and made it available for housing for low-income seniors. Today, Culpepper Garden is a model for senior affordable housing because of the services we provide through our extraordinary partnerships with Arlington County, state and federal agencies, the faith-based community, volunteers, and community leaders.
