Affordable Community
Berkshire Mews is Skytop Properties' professionally managed, affordable apartment community in downtown Pittsfield, subsidized through HUD's Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA). Equal Housing Opportunity.
Berkshire Mews brings quality, affordable homes to income-eligible households across downtown Pittsfield. The rental assistance is tied to the apartment, so eligible residents generally pay about 30% of their adjusted monthly income toward rent, with HUD covering the remaining contract rent.
Berkshire Mews homes are located across several well-kept buildings near downtown — including McLaughlin Place, Rostone Place, Kent Avenue, First Street, Linden Street, Second Street, and Bradford Street — all close to shops, restaurants, healthcare, and transit.
Berkshire Mews serves low- and very low-income households within HUD income limits for the Pittsfield area. Eligibility is verified at move-in and at annual recertification, and applicants are screened in accordance with HUD and fair housing requirements. To see the current limits, use the eligibility estimator on our subsidized apartments page.
Homes are filled from a waitlist in accordance with HUD requirements. To apply, choose a Berkshire Mews home below or on our subsidized apartments page and complete the secure online application packet — every adult in the household signs the required HUD consents, and the finished packet is sent directly to our office.
