Kirkwood Retirement Community is for individuals 62 years and older. We offer 140 apartments on beautifully kept grounds. We have security on site every night. We are close to grocery stores, the mall, and fine eating establishments. We offer many different activities in order for residents to stay as active as they wish. We even have a beauty shop available for your convenience and a manicurist/pedicurist available every month. We also offer monthly blood pressure checks. There is a laundry room for each main building and we have a Library for residents only.

Kirkwood Retirement Community is owned by The First Presbyterian Church of Goldsboro. We have a very quiet community within Goldsboro's city limits. We offer retirement living at its best.

Kirkwood Retirement Community is a subsidized community. Annual income determines eligibility. For an individual the annual income can not exceed $17,450, for couples it can not exceed $19,950. We base rent on 30% of adjusted gross income. We use all medical expenses as deductions. (Please call for additional information.) Residents are responsible for their electric and telephone bills. We pick up the water bill.

Kirkwood has management on site. Our office hours are 9am - 5pm, Monday - Friday. We offer full time maintenance for all service orders. We have a full time Service Coordinator, who plans creative activities and works closely with each resident. She is a liaison between all Senior agencies and Medicaid/Medicare. She helps to solve any problems residents may have. This is a valuable resource for our residents.

We have a very active Resident's Council, which meets the 2nd Monday of every month. They plan and participate in many of their own activities. They offer Bingo every week as well as a monthly get together known as the "Hoot and Holler' They plan shopping trips on a regular basis. The residents have access to the Kirkwood bus, which makes trips easy planning. The bus makes trips to the grocery store every 2 weeks for any resident that wants to go shop, eat breakfast, or just fellowship. Their groceries are even delivered right to their door.

One hundred of our apartments are on ground level. Forty apartments are located in a 2 story building. They each have a kitchen, pantry, linen closet, living room/dining room areas, bathroom, and bedroom. We have shaded picnic areas, with plenty of room to relax. We do allow pets (sizes are limited) with an additional deposit. Each apartment has cable at reduced rates for our residents. We also have the David Jenkins activity room.
