Upland Estates — Upland affordable housing

3434 Vista Lane, Upland, PA 19015Pennrose Management Company

Opening / first-lease date: opening recorded only to the year (2007) in Upland Estates rental listing (year built 2007); HUD LIHTC record PAA00000267; the pin sits on the last day of that year. Confidence: low. No grand-opening or press coverage found. HUD allocation year is 2004 and placed-in-service is the placeholder 8888, so the true PIS is unknown; 2007 comes only from rental-listing 'built' fields (aggregators, low weight). The prior '2004' was the allocation year, not opening. Plausible range 2005-2007. PHFA inventory (7/30/2026) confirms 50 units, LIHTC $768,802 + PennHOMES, Pennrose^[1] owner rep and manager at 3434 Vista Ln. Recommend year 2007 only if a low-confidence year is acceptable; otherwise treat as unverified.

Affordable two- and three-bedroom townhomes with in-home washers and dryers. Property information reviewed October 10, 2026. Published rents: 2 bedroom — operator-listed $807–$1,044, 3 bedroom — operator-listed $938–$1,212.

Opening / first-lease date: placed in service recorded only to the year (2007) in HUD LIHTC database (ArcGIS FeatureService); the pin sits on the last day of that year. INFERRED: Pennrose's Spencer's Place page gives 3900 Haverford Ave (townhomes at 3601-3619 Olive St) and leasing contact cloisters@pennrose.com^[1], matching Cloisters III. No source names Spencer's Place directly. Medium-low confidence.

Affordable three-bedroom townhomes between 3601 and 3619 Olive Street, with in-home laundry and outdoor space. Management uses a separate leasing office. Property information reviewed October 10, 2026. Published rents: 3 bedroom — operator-listed $1,292–$1,740.

Cloisters III — Philadelphia affordable housing

3900 Haverford Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19104Pennrose Management Company

Opening / first-lease date: placed in service recorded only to the year (2007) in Cloisters III - Affordable Housing Hub (LIHTC); the pin sits on the last day of that year. Placed-in-service year only from third-party LIHTC listing (50 units, 9% LIHTC, HOME/CDBG). No press release found.^[1]

Opening / first-lease date: opening recorded only to the year (2007) in Overlook Park Housing Project to Be Completed by 2009 (WFMZ); the pin sits on the last day of that year. Confidence: low. HUD announced the $20M HOPE VI grant May 2005; Allentown Housing Authority says reconstruction began 2006. WFMZ reported the first two phases (159 rentals) 'officially opened' with the rest due by 2009 (article date not retrievable). Rental listing sites give 'built 2007'. Phase 1A (Overlook Park 1A, 80 public-housing units, 123 N Bradford St) most likely first. Exact opening day not found; 2007 is an inference from WFMZ + listing build year + 2009 target, so low confidence. Whole development completed ~2009.^[1]

Income-restricted family apartments and townhomes with one- through four-bedroom layouts. The map marks the operator’s leasing-office address. Property information reviewed October 10, 2026.
