Lawson Expansion consists of 25 one bedroom-units built in 1983. It is contiguous to Hamilton Manor, which was built in 1965. It is located in a quiet residential neighborhood near the heart of Yellow Springs. Banking, pharmacy, grocery and specialty stores are conveniently located nearby.

Yellow Springs is a unique small town with a wide variety of cultural, religious and civic organizations. There is an active Senior Citizen's Center located downtown, which provides transportation services to Lawson Place residents.

All apartments are ground floor with private entrances. One apartment is specifically designed for physical accessibility by mobility-impaired residents. Most apartments include a small outdoor patio and gardening space.

A community room, with a full kitchen, is available within the complex for resident activities such as SCOPE meals, which are served Monday - Friday at noontime, weekly bridge club, family gatherings etc. The laundry facility is also located inside of the community room.

Lawson Expansion is owned and managed by Greene Metropolitan Housing Authority with subsidy from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Residents are encouraged to participate in a resident council, which provides a forum for resident involvement in resident services and development of a maintenance and capital improvement plan for the property. Maintenance staff provides routine and preventative maintenance and is on call for emergencies 24 hours a day.
