Mariner Woods Apartments
Searsport, Maine

Mariner Woods is located in Searsport Maine, and offers 24 apartments of which eight are one bedroom apartments and 16 are two bedroom apartments.  Each apartment has its own private entrance and all apartments are subsidized, which usually means rent is based on 30% of your ajusted income.  Smoking is not allowed in the units but there is a smoking area outside on site.  They state that apartments are two story units, but it does appear from the photos that the one bedroom units may be one level apartments.
Searsport is a nice quiet town located along the Maine coast rich in fishing history and located just down the road from the city of Belfast, Maine. 
A few stores in town include the Grasshopper Shop, Toziers Market which sells food items, and an antique mall.  A popular spot over the years with fishermen is the town's pier which attracts fishermen from near and far.  There is a very large shop and save food store just up the road in Belfast as well as a number of fast food places and Moose Head State Park. .  Searsport also has a pizza place. 

From the photos above you can see the air or heat pump units on the back side of the apartments which means these units will be a lot less expensive to heat than electric heat.  If you do not know, air pumps serve multiple purposes, in winter they provide heat, in summer they become an air conditioner or fan.

BANGOR MAINE PUBLIC HOUSING

You will not find much here on Bangor Maine simply because of the way the city of Bangor runs its housing projects.  To put it simply, you don't chose where you will live in public housing in Bangor, the city will place you in a project of their choosing.  .
I found this out nearly twenty years ago when I was looking for a project in Bangor.  After visiting a number of projects we located the one we wanted to live at, and applied for an application.  It was your standard application with the exception that instead of having one project listed on it, it had many.  We circled the project we had found that we really liked and wrote in its name along the side of the page, and were contacted and told the city will pick the project you get to move into based on the information you supplied on your application.  We were asked if we were still interested in an apartment and I told the lady, no thanks, no one tells me were I am going to live.
Hopefully the city has changed the way they do things, but that was my experience with applying for housing in Bangor, Maine.
