Independent Living. Meaningful Connections. A Place to Call Home.
Flushing House is a welcoming, not-for-profit Independent Living community located in the heart of Flushing, Queens. For more than 50 years, we have helped older adults enjoy retirement with greater freedom, comfort, security, and connection.
Our mission is simple:
To provide a safe, enjoyable, and affordable retirement experience for our residents.
Home to more than 300 residents, Flushing House offers private studio and one-bedroom apartments in a vibrant, culturally diverse community. Residents maintain their independence, make their own decisions, and come and go as they please—without the responsibilities and isolation that can sometimes accompany living alone.
Independence with Support Nearby
Flushing House is designed for older adults who can live independently but appreciate the convenience of having helpful services available in one community.

Delicious daily dining
Housekeeping and linen services
Around-the-clock security
Engaging activities, entertainment, and educational programs

Our extensive Life Enrichment Program offers activities for many different interests, backgrounds, and abilities. Residents can participate as much—or as little—as they choose.
A Community Where Everyone Belongs
At Flushing House, retirement is not about giving up independence. It is about gaining more opportunities to connect, explore new interests, build friendships, and enjoy each day.
Our culturally diverse community reflects the spirit of Queens. Residents from many different backgrounds come together to share experiences while continuing to live according to their own preferences, traditions, and routines.
As a not-for-profit organization, our residents and our mission remain at the center of everything we do. We are proud to offer an affordable alternative to many other senior living options without sacrificing comfort, quality, or community.

Flushing House was one of the first institutions to offer Independent Living for older adults, coupled with supportive services right on the premises. How does Independent Living work, from the Flushing House perspective? Built in 1974 for active senior living, our 12-story, 319-unit residence is ideally suited for seniors who can live independently, providing they’re able to access services that lessen the burdens of keeping up their own apartments.
Featured in New York Magazine (December 11, 2006), Flushing House was cited as one of the 20 best places for older adults in the New York area. Most recently, Flushing House was named Best Retirement Community of 2025 by Best of Boro. Among the area’s network of social workers and geriatric care managers, Flushing House has maintained a reputation as one of the leading centers for Independent Living.
