Press Releases | September 30, 2022

Eden Heights

New Braunfels, Texas – National Church Residences, the nation’s largest non-for-profit provider of affordable senior housing has entered into an agreement to purchase Eden Heights, the HUD affordable senior housing apartment building located on the EdenHill campus in New Braunfels, Texas.

Eden Heights has operated on EdenHill’s campus since 1980 with 94 apartments serving seniors over age 62. Although Eden Heights has always been a part of the EdenHill campus, Eden Heights is a separate corporation and has been managed by National Church Residences since 2014. The purchase will allow National Church Residences to both own and operate the building.

National Church Residences is a not-for-profit organization driven by a vision of advancing better living for all seniors, enabling them to remain home for life. They are deeply committed to the core values of mission, compassion, professionalism and leadership. With more than 360 communities in 24 states, National Church Residences has the resources to invest significantly in enhancements to the Eden Heights property.

Wendy Carpenter, EdenHill CEO states, “We are confident this is the best decision and Eden Heights residents will be well taken care of. National Church Residences has the experience and skillset to carry on that legacy of care into the future of this community. I’m excited for the Heights’ residents and for the continued partnership. Regardless of ownership, EdenHill will continue to welcome Eden Heights’ residents as friends and neighbors.”

Kelly Parnell, senior project leader at National Church Residences adds, “National Church Residences has the experience and resources to preserve Eden Heights well into the future, supporting a critical affordable senior housing mission. It has been wonderful to work with EdenHill throughout this process. With the aligned mission to enhance the lives of seniors, EdenHill and National Church Residences are perfectly matched to share a campus and preserve a vital service for the long-term.”
