Whipple Riverview Place

Located within walking distance from the center of Ipswich, Whipple Riverview Place houses ten beautifully designed one bedroom apartments available to low-income seniors, 62 years of age or older. All of the rental units feature central heat and air conditioning, modern appliances, galley kitchens, tall arched windows overlooking the Ipswich River, and handicap-adaptable features. Laundry facilities, a resident lounge, and off-street parking are also provided. Programs are offered daily at the Council on Aging, located next door in Town Hall, and a beautiful riverfront walking trail is just steps away.

One of the most unique and progressive features of Whipple Riverview Place is its green roof – a 3000 square foot space thriving with vegetation. Home to at least ten species of flowering plants, the lush roof-top area links man-made and natural environments by providing natural onsite management of storm water runoff. The soil and plants absorb rainwater, and the plant roots remove and filter pollutants. The green roof at Whipple Annex is especially vital as it helps protect the adjacent Ipswich River from pollution and erosion
