Experience the convenience of downtown living, the quiet of a senior community, and the luxury of a newly renovated apartment when you live at Pearl Place! The oldest part of Pearl Place was originally built in 1893 as a school. It underwent several additions, changed from being a high school to a middle school, and then was later converted to an Affordable Housing apartment complex for seniors, which is what it was when Gorman & Company bought and took over the property in 2023, and what it still is today. Gorman & Company almost immediately began renovations on the building, updating and remodeling each apartment while working to restore and preserve the building's historic charm. We are proud to offer a variety of amenities including a courtyard with grills, elevators, a laundry room on every floor, on-call maintenance, a community room, a fitness center, and - soon - computers for resident use. Our 1- and 2-bedroom senior apartments are located in the heart of Belvidere, just off of State St and Logan Ave, situating it within walking distance to a myriad of local shops, cafés, bars, and restaurants, the Belvidere Community Building, and everything else downtown Belvidere has to offer. *Pearl Place Apartments is an Equal Housing Opportunity. Student and income restrictions apply, call our office for details.

    City - Belvidere

    The city of Belvidere is a cozy suburban community positioned on the east side of Rockford. The city is widely known for its State Street Historic District, which spans both banks of the Kishwaukee River. This part of town is packed with beautiful red brick buildings and vintage storefronts still in active use today, hosting a vast selection of popular cafes, boutique shops, and other locally-owned businesses. Known as “Illinois’ City of Murals,” Belvidere proudly displays countless public works of art all across the community, including numerous old-time hand-painted advertisements. A string of large nature preserves lining the riverbanks provides endless opportunities for spending quality time outdoors, and Magic Waters Waterpark just west of town makes a perfect destination for hot summer days.

    School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

    Not senior user friendly at all. Gorman money grab.

    No office staff to address questions, concerns. When the person is in, door is closed and there is no response or follow up with tennants. No maintenance staff at all. None. Remodel done poorly. Doors don't shut.Heating units routinely don't work, not sure on a/c yet. Shelving not installed on studs, come out of drywall, unusable. All tennants have issues with running of building. Poor organization. Only able to enter through 1 door now making grocery runs difficult and deliveries. No assigned parking which is a mess. Key fobs don't work regularly have to be redone. Money grab for Gorman. Look elsewhere. Honestly thought it would get better. It just gets worse.

    No availability... ;)

    I have to wonder if someone wrote a bad review to keep others away. It can't be all bad and filled to 100%. I have seen this place and find it to be a great mix of demographic and wonderful people. I'd live here if I could.
