Welcome to Wilkes Towers, home of comfortable and affordable living for seniors who are 62+ years. Built in 1911 as a hotel, the property was converted to affordable housing in 1981. Our community features a mix of studio and one-bedroom residences in an historic six-story building. Our residents enjoy a wide range of amenities including a secure building, community room, chapel and covered parking. Wilkes Towers is located in the central business district within walking distance to shopping, dining and public transportation, as well as local hospitals. Located in northwestern North Carolina, the area's natural setting includes Kerr Scott Lake, scenic mountain vistas and nearby parks along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Our professional staff looks forward to providing you with the highest standard of professional property management and are committed to improving the communities where we live and work.
Since Wilkes Towers participates in the Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance program, your rent would be subsidized. You would not pay more than 30% of your income for rent. To qualify, you must earn 50% or less of the Area Median Income (AMI), which you can find on this page’s income chart. Also, project-based Section 8 properties tend to have longer waiting lists, with some with waiting lists going out for years. Since this property participates in the Section 8 Project Based Rental Assistance 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.

Wait until you have a Section 8 voucher to find housing.
It usually takes months or years to reach the top of a Section 8 HCV waiting list. Any apartments you see now will likely not be available when you get your voucher.Marla Senter says:
