Valley View Apartments sits in Vergennes, Vermont, as a senior housing community built for folks who are still in good health and want to live on their own without fuss. The place has 24 one- and two-bedroom apartments, and most of them, about 21 units, have either accessible features or can be easily adapted if someone needs that down the road. The whole property is age-restricted, so it's meant for seniors and also welcomes disabled individuals, with some units set aside especially for permanent supportive housing for people who've been homeless before. Apartments come with some basics like on-site, coin-operated laundry, housekeeping, and on-site maintenance, and the place doesn't allow pets or smoking, which makes things quieter and easier for everyone. The whole place is overseen by Summit Property Management Group, and the Vermont State Housing Authority manages things too, with ownership coming from VVII Housing Associates, L.P. and The Housing Foundation, Inc.
Rent here stays affordable because most tenants get help through different programs-including Rural Development, PBRA, and grants-that keep rent down to about 30% of a person's income, which can really help stretch a fixed budget. Some homes here first opened back in the 1980s, and the whole spot gets inspected and stays certified under Vermont's Act 68 rules, so it's got to meet certain standards for quality and accessibility. There are resources online for families, too, offering tools and advice to help folks find the right place for their needs-plus ratings and details on pricing, even though the property itself hasn't put out its full rates. Valley View Apartments doesn't have fancy extras but focuses on solid basics-good apartments, no frills-and is geared toward seniors who still handle daily life themselves without much extra help. The apartments have a flexible approach thanks to their links with non-profits and state agencies who aim to keep local housing affordable, energy efficient, and easy to live in, so people who move here generally find things dependable and straightforward. The community keeps regular business hours, every day of the week, which makes it easier for residents and families to get in touch when needed.
