Valley View Apartments is a subsidized housing community for seniors over the age of 62 and the mobility/sensory impaired. The term “subsidized housing” means that the rent is based on income. A resident of the community pays approximately 30% of their income (after medical out-of-pocket deductions and utility allowance) as rent.

The remainder of the rent is paid in the form of a subsidy. If a resident qualifies for a subsidy, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), a U.S. Government Agency, will pay the remainder of the rent.

We are opened from 9 am to 3 pm, Monday through Friday and have after-hour message service that allows us to be reached on a 24/7 basis.

Resident rent is based on approximately 30% of income. A good estimate of your rent would be to take 30% of your net annual income and divide it by 12 months. This will give you an estimate of what your monthly rent could be.

Monthly rental of the apartment, garbage pick-up, grounds maintenance, and snow removal, as well as heat, water, sewer and an electric allowance. An electric allowance is a certain amount taken off of the resident’s rent payment meant to help the resident pay the electric bill. The allowance amount is based on average usage for the apartment and may change annually. Residents will still receive an electric bill, but the allowance is intended to help pay for it. Residents may still be eligible for energy assistance from the state.
