Local senior center Ellis Estates has recently completed a second building next to its existing facility. Located at 1301 E. 33rd in Hays, it offers brand-new 1,400 square-foot double and single apartments.

Ellis Estates is owned by Bainter Housing based in Hoxie. The facility houses 32 total rooms, with six rooms to a section in the new addition. The original red structure holds 12 rooms with four to a section, and was completed just over a year ago, according to general manager Vince Newell.

Newell also serves the role of handyman and is the only employee on the property.

Single rooms start at $1,000 per month, and double rooms start at $1,425 per month. Rooms include all bills paid, a washer and dryer, and an attached garage.
