Barker Street Apartments

Barker Street Apartments sits at 615 Barker Street in Hawley, PA and is managed by the Wayne County Housing Authority, which has worked since 1971 to help folks in Wayne and Pike Counties find safe, affordable places to live. The complex is a high-rise building with 73 apartments designed for very low and extremely low-income people, including senior citizens age 62 or older, physically handicapped persons, and disabled adults. Rent at Barker Street Apartments depends on income, not the size or type of unit, and utilities come included in the rent, so that takes care of a bit of worry about extra bills. The apartments offer studio and one-bedroom layouts, and everything is set up for accessibility, making it easier to move around for those with physical needs. The place aims at the 55-plus crowd, offering comfort and senior-friendly features. Folks living here can expect maintenance staff to be around for daily needs and upkeep, both inside and outside. There are inspection services too, to help keep things safe and up to standard for everyone. The Wayne County Housing Authority runs a few other programs and services in the area, mostly for those needing help with housing, and Barker Street Apartments ties into that network with connections to independent living, assisted living for those who need help with everyday things like bathing or taking medicine, and memory care for residents with conditions like Alzheimer's. Meals, activities, and social events happen on-site, and the staff have a reputation for being friendly and helpful. The complex doesn't give out prices up front, since rent is based on income, and information about features or amenities changes, but people can get more details through the housing office. The place is rural, so it stays pretty quiet, and it welcomes seniors, disabled adults, and families who need a safe and affordable place to live.
