Affordable Independent Living

Carnegie Place, a senior living community located in the heart of West Allis and metropolitan Milwaukee, has become a warm and comfortable home for many senior residents who enjoy the deluxe amenities of the community and the proximity to the neighborhoods they know and love. Residents can choose from a variety of spacious one-bedroom apartment styles each with unique, charming and well-designed features. Built as a library by a grant from the Carnegie Foundation in 1904, the building was acquired and renovated into apartments by Capri Communities in 2001.

Carnegie Place encourages an active, independent lifestyle balanced with comfort and security. Our location offers easy access to supermarkets, medical services, churches, restaurants and all the entertainment and activities in Milwaukee. Carnegie Place builds and maintains relationships with area business and civic organizations. These connections make it easy for our residents to participate in activities inside and outside the community.
