Shade View Apartments in Middleburg, PA

Shade View Apartments is a complex owned and managed by Snyder County Housing Authority and consists of 40 apartments. Each apartment has a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms ranging from one to four. Water, sewer, and trash are included, as well as the range and refrigerator. Residents are responsible for electricity for heat, lights, and hot water.

Since this property is owned and managed by a Public Housing Authority, all of the rents at this property are based on family incomes. Monthly rent is equal to 30% of adjusted income, less the allowance for electricity. There is also a flat rent for each apartment, based on the market rental value of the unit. Flat rents do not have a utility allowance, as it is already factored into the flat rent. Families are given the choice of flat or income-based rent once a year.

How to Apply & Eligibility

To apply, an application must be completed. Applications are available 24/7 outside of the Housing Authority office in the forms box. Upon completion of your application, you will be required to attend an interview, and complete the required interview packet and additional Shade View Forms.
