Residents have use of a community room with a warming kitchen for activities and special events, a library with computer stations, a multi-media room, a beauty/barber salon, an exercise room, a game room, a sitting porch and a landscaped patio.

Residents stay physically active and mentally engaged by taking advantage of a full range of resident services, activities, outings, and special programs that help support successful aging. These programs, as well as the community’s private van, are provided and arranged through the community’s partner, the Jefferson Area Board of Aging (JABA).

The Shelter Group is a nationally recognized pioneer in the senior affordable housing market. The company’s first such community was completed 17 years ago. Since then it has built 27 additional senior affordable communities. These communities are located in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia.

“Shelter has learned through direct experience what seniors want in the way of amenities, building design and services; all of which, in a Park View, work together to support successful aging. That’s why I’m so enthusiastic about Park View at South Pantops,” says Susan Coiner Rooke, Property Manager.

Park View at South Pantops is the company’s first Park View in Virginia but, according to a company spokesperson, it is actively looking for other opportunities in the Commonwealth. Seniors have reacted enthusiastically to the availability of affordable housing in this market. Having just opened, the community is already more than 25% leased.
