Located next door to the Torigian Community Life Center and a few minutes by car from downtown Peabody and the North Shore Mall, this historic school building has been renovated to provide elder, disabled, and congregate housing. Twelve of the 78 apartments in the building are congregate units, combining both private and shared living spaces. Residents have their own private sitting room/bedroom, private bathroom and ample closet space. The dining room, living room and kitchen are shared. Laundry facilities are located in the building.
Since 75 Central Street is a supportive housing site, residents living in the congregate apartments receive the additional benefit of full access to the supportive living program.

Continental breakfast is available daily and a home cooked evening meal is served Monday through Friday in the community room.
