The Oaks Case Study
The Oaks: Affordable Senior Living Designed to Support Aging in Place
A community-first development in Dallas delivering accessibility, comfort, and rapid lease-up success.
Humphreys & Partners Architects presents our case study on The Oaks, a $50M affordable senior community in Dallas’s historic Oak Cliff. Designed for adults 62+, this four-story development provides 260 thoughtfully planned one- and two-bedroom residences. The result is a welcoming, accessibility-driven environment that promotes independence and preserves dignity.
Learn how a coordinated approach between architecture and interiors enhanced wellness, mobility, and social connection — while meeting strict TDHCA/HUD affordability requirements and neighborhood expectations. See how these design decisions contributed to accelerated leasing and strong community adoption.

“When you walk in the front door and you see the lobby, it is so much nicer than any affordable housing project that I’ve done in my career.”
— Deborah Welchel, VOANS
