The ten building project, comprised of townhome and garden-style units in seven two-story and three three-story walk-up buildings was built on a 2.7-acre lot. The project consists of 50 units comprised of 12 one-bedroom, 22 two-bedroom, and 16 three-bedroom residential living spaces. All units with the exception of the manager’s unit are restricted to low-income households with incomes at 40%, 50%, and 60% of area median income. The project also includes 90 open-lot surface parking spaces.
The project includes an on-site property manager and extensive resident services provided by our non-profit partner, Catholic Charities, and Housing for Hope. These services are programmed daily in a large community center which includes management offices, a lounge, a computer room, social service offices, and classroom/seminar room. The project will also include a laundry room, playground, multi-purpose sports court, bike storage, courtyard, walking path, and a community garden.
The project is located in an established mixed-use neighborhood of Phoenix, approximately 5.7 miles north of downtown. Surrounding land uses include residential and commercial structures. The nearby residential neighborhoods consist primarily of single-family homes and apartment buildings that are in good condition and add to the desirability of the area.
The site is within proximity to many community amenities and services including shopping, employment, recreation, entertainment, and education establishments. Phoenix’s Valley Metro offers a light rail station and bus stops within 0.7 miles of the site. Overall, the project fits well with surrounding land uses and its proximity to community services will continue to have a positive effect.
