Chateau Cupertino - Cupertino, CA

Chateau Cupertino is a senior independent-living rental community whose strongest distinction is the combination of apartment living with meals, housekeeping, transportation and an extensive on-site activity program. The community offers alcove, suite, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments rather than individually owned homes. Its current rate schedule starts at $3,750 per month for a first-floor alcove and reaches $6,550 for a two-bedroom, two-bath apartment, before any applicable second-person charge. This structure makes Chateau Cupertino a service-oriented alternative to conventional homeownership.

Current official starting rents range from $3,750 to $6,550 monthly, with an additional $1,000 charge for a second resident.
