B'nai B'rith Parkview Apartments is a senior citizen apartment building located at 400 Hudson Avenue, Albany, New York. The complex of 176 apartments overlooks scenic Washington Park and the building offers a spectacular view of the park and downtown Empire State Plaza. We are within walking distance to restaurants, medical facilities, shopping centers, and museums, and we are convenient to city bus transportation.

We offer a variety of programs and services which makes our facility a unique and special home for seniors and handicapped persons unlike any other in the Capital District. B'nai B'rith Parkview Apartments offer the special feature of an onsite Service Coordinator who is available to help settle newcomers, to assist residents applying for governmental services, and to schedule tenant events, services, and programs.

The building is non-sectarian and welcomes all regardless of race, color, national origin, gender or religion. Many programs have a Jewish flavor, but we provide activities that appeal to the cultural and religious interests of all tenants.
