Park View at South Pantops is a four-story building with elevator, containing 54 one-bedroom and 36 two-bedroom apartments. The units feature fully-equipped kitchens, 24-hour centrally monitored emergency pull cords, wiring for cable television and telephone, a tenant controlled lobby entrance system, and individually controlled and metered utilities. Interior amenities include a large community room with kitchen, salon, exercise room, activity room and laundry room. A complete range of resident activities and services will be provided by the Jefferson Area Board for Aging (JABA).

Park View at South Pantops is the result of a collaboration between Shelter Development, LLC and JABA. The community will provide seniors aged 62 and older with an affordable quality housing option thanks to the lower financing costs resulting from the award and subsequent sale of low income housing tax credits by the Virginia Housing Development Authority, an enthusiastic advocate of this project.

Shelter is a national leader in the development of affordable housing. Shelter has developed and manages 27 other Park View communities, all of which provide affordable housing for income-qualified seniors as well as activities and programs that enhance independence and a full life.
