Urban Living with Spectacular Views
Spencer Towers is a nine-floor high-rise, comprised of 199 non-smoking one-bedroom units. The property features four laundry rooms, an exercise room, and a spacious front lobby with seating area plus a community room with a full kitchen. Located across the street from the Mississippi River, Spencer Towers offers breathtaking views of the river, nearby Schwiebert Riverfront Park, and the riverfront bike path. The property features well-kept grounds with wrought iron fencing and patio area complete with grills, picnic tables and gazebo. All homes include gas, heat, and water, an additional charge for air conditioning. Rent is based on income. This is property is pet friendly, offers high-quality housing with an urban feel. It’s close to the downtown entertainment district with numerous restaurants, attractions, and shopping. Security deposit required.
This property has one bedroom units that can house one to two persons.
This property is funded through HUD’s Public Housing program. These properties are typically owned and managed by a Public Housing Authority. These properties tend to be much older, as no new public housing has been built in many years. Since the Federal budget has historically (and notoriously) underfunded public housing renovations for decades, these properties tend to have higher vacancies due to uninhabitable units or liveable units that are in poor condition. In addition, since all public housing properties offer rent subsidies, low-income residents only pay rent based on their incomes. For that reason, these properties tend to have longer waiting lists. Check our public housing waiting list data for more information. Since Spencer Towers participates in the Public Housing program and has a property based subsidy, if you have a Section 8 voucher, you would have to give up your voucher to move in.
