Westminster Place at Huntingdon is an expansion project offering affordable housing to individuals 62 and over on the campus of Westminster Woods, a LIfe Plan Community. This new building is built to Passive House Institute standards and Enterprise Green Communities New Construction criteria.
Located on an approximate 4.85 acre site on the corner of Stoneridge Drive and Cold Springs Road, the four-story 48-unit apartment building includes 37 one-bedroom and 11 two-bedroom rental apartments for seniors. The apartment floor plans range from 615 to 956 square feet.
In addition to having the benefit of Pennsylvania's tax-friendly retirement environment, we offer relaxed country living near State College, Altoona and Raystown Lake.

After your application is received, time and date stamped by management, we will be contacting applicants in order of the waiting list to schedule an interview to verify eligibility criteria for each of the 48 available apartments. We anticipate scheduling appointments beginning in January to qualify applicants.
If your phone number changes after you submit the application, it is your responsibility to contact us to update your phone number because if we cannot reach you, we may move on to the next applicant in accordance with our Resident Selection Criteria.
Once we contact you to schedule an interview, you will receive a letter confirming your appointment that will list exactly what you will need to bring to the interview. At the interview, management will collect a $20 per person application fee, by check or money order as we do not accept cash. All applicants must pass a credit and criminal background check. Following the interview, staff will process your application and be in contact with you for any additional information needed to determine whether you meet the qualifications for one of the apartments. Applications can take several weeks or longer to process depending on how quickly we are able to verify your information.
Once your application is approved and you are determined eligible to occupy one of the apartments, management will contact you to sign the lease and you will have 30 days from the date you are notified to enter into the lease agreement.
