  • If you know the apartment costs, let us know.

    • Tuesday, March 14, 2023

      User Response: Pemberton Place is not Public Housing, but is privately owned by Pemberton Place Housing Corp. Apartments have Section 8 Vouchers attached and rents are determined following HUD guidelines. Qualifying low income residents pay no more than 30% of their income.

  • Are these apartments low income, sliding scale income based?

    • Tuesday, March 14, 2023

      User Response: Section 8 apartments are HUD subsidized. Low income renters will pay no more than 30% of income. Full rent and income status is based upon local averages so vary by location. These apartments are in Jamestown RI, where real estate is at a premium and incomes are high. This effects the base price of apartments, but Section 8 residents pay amounts based on HUD 30% of income; the difference is paid by HUD Section 8 subsidy. HUD inspects properties; evaluates and determines the open-market rent acceptable for the apartments it subsidizes.

    • Saturday, March 9, 2024

      User Response: Executive Director told us the wait-list was lost. When I applied 5 years ago with a previous director he posted the Wait-list on a bulletin board and we stopped by now and then to check where I was on the list. It's very different now. Visitors (and residents) have to wait outside on the stairs and phone the office and to leave voicemail, wait for their return call in order be let through the locked outside door into the hallway to wait for a clerk to come out of the JHA office. The Executive Director remained behind 2 additional locked security doors, their windows obscured by heavy opaque paper. We were invited to wait in the Community Room, where 3 uniformed Police sat enjoying coffee. This was not the cheerful and welcoming community room I recalled from previous visits. It was sterile, corporate, with no sign of the lively community I had previously visited. This whole experience was enough to convince me I didn't want to ever live here. The atmosphere is prison-like. No wonder they had 6 empty apartments, 2 in Pemberton Place 4 in Pemberton Apts. Maybe there is no wait-list because word of the poor living conditions has discouraged applications. A very sad place to visit. My family removed my name from the "lost" wait-list. The heavy Police presence and the multiple locked security doors made me wonder how safe Pemberton Place or Jamestown itself are.

  • Are these apartments safe? Please let us know details.

    • Friday, January 10, 2025

      User Response: Besides the lack of safety in apartments, complaints to Executive Director are answered with arranged physical assaults and bogus charges filed against residents. Police, Court, and Hospital Emergency records exist to document this abuse of senior and disabled residents. HUD needs to pay attention. Entire staff is related, have family connections with Police. Jamestown ignores incidents and complaints. No problems with residents.

    • Saturday, March 9, 2024

      User Response: No. Poor or no maintenance; tenants wait years without stoves, refrigerators, bad electrical outlets, leaking pipes, chipped and falling paint, broken windows and doors. Temporary fixes take place day before HUD inspections; ADA required repairs ignored. This beautiful property has been butchered and ignored by present management- Feb 2024

    • Tuesday, March 14, 2023

      User Response: HUD requires apartments be safe, but these particular apartments have been poorly maintained and many have problems in the safety category. Again, these are not Public Housing, but privately owned by a corporation. The property manager is responsible for maintenance

  • Which utilities are included in the rent?

    • Tuesday, March 14, 2023

      User Response: Heat, hot and cold water, electricity. Air Conditioners require additional electricity charge of $100 for season, and can be paid in monthly increments.

    • Tuesday, July 21, 2020

      User Response: All

  • Are you familiar with this location? What is your opinion of it?

    • Friday, January 10, 2025

      User Response: Was a nice, quiet, island but now over crowded with tourists. Everywhere is crowded including beaches, town, Beavertail. Pricey, and more restricted access than other seaside areas. Highly over-rated, commercial, and expensive!

    • Saturday, March 9, 2024

      User Response: Yes. Unfriendly tourist town, housing is rundown.

    • Tuesday, March 14, 2023

      User Response: Location is fine. Suburban, and quite safe. Busy village area, focused on tourism with fancy restaurants and gift shops; usually quieter off-season but no longer the small town of a few years back. There is one year-round market, with limited choices; considered by townspeople as too pricey for substantial shopping, but open 7 days until 6pm. Two liquor stores with limited hours, inventory, high prices. No pharmacy; no laundromat; one gas station; one convenience store; 3 churches; 1 medical office, no lab; 1 veterinary office; 1 dentist; 1 hardware; 1 nautical supply; 1 elementary school; 1 middle school; 1 library. All in all, still a nice place to live. Car is a necessity as public transportation is difficult to access and sporadic. Not an easy town for seniors and disabled to navigate safely without personal transportation or assistance from others.

    I have lived here for over 20 years. This small community of 12 residents has much to offer but is poorly funded, and showing it’s advanced age.
