Lineweaver Apartments sits at 265 N Main St in Downtown Harrisonburg, VA, and finds its place in a five-story building with 61 units, serving as a home for elderly and disabled individuals who meet certain income and age requirements. Managed by the Harrisonburg Redevelopment and Housing Authority and Castle Property with Glen Lock, Lineweaver and its Annex give people independent living options, offering 47 efficiency apartments, 14 one-bedroom units, and 60 one-bedroom units in the Annex, all with income-based or fixed rent options as part of the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, which keeps rents fair for people living on limited incomes, and most tenants pay only 30% of their monthly income toward rent with all utilities included-right now, monthly rent stands at $717.
This community reaches out to older adults and disabled folks, offering services like housing assistance, activities, and property management, and while there aren't fancy amenities listed, you do get things like high-speed internet, smoke-free living, a community picnic area, a patio, and a common room, plus there's on-site property management and maintenance, even a Service Coordinator ready to lend a hand to residents who need help or guidance. There's a solar array with a 35KW capacity on site, which is pretty unique for a building like this, and though you won't find long lists of amenities like gyms or pools, you do have access to active social and physical activities for seniors and nutritious meals prepared by chefs, which helps to keep residents healthy and engaged.
Applicants need to show ID, Social Security cards, proof of income, bank statements, and go through background and credit checks, as the rules make sure that only folks who fit the age, disability, and income guidelines get to live here, and this keeps everything running smoothly and fairly for everyone. The property isn't listed as pet-friendly, and there's no official word on things like air conditioning, washer and dryers, or extra outdoor spaces, though it does sit close to downtown shops and restaurants so folks can get what they need easily. Lineweaver Apartments is part of the federal Section 8 New Construction Project, which ties it to housing choice vouchers, and there's a Family Self Sufficiency Program and other supports for residents who want to work on their own independence or improve their situations, and while reviews point out helpful and kind staff, the focus remains on simple, affordable, and stable housing for those who qualify.
