The Rose Street Neighborhood will provide permanently affordable homeownership opportunities for McKenzie Valley families earning less than 80% of area medium income.
6 Affordable Homeownership Opportunities!
Stick-built & Firewise, 3 bed / 1.5 bath, approximately 1,300 sq ft
Estimated sale price: $250k-$275k*
Using the community land trust (CLT) model, we will sell the home, not the land, to a qualified buyer. The buyer signs a 99 year lease on the land, paying a monthly land lease fee. Separating the price of land from the home price allows the home to be affordable. To learn more about community land trusts visit, What is a CLT?.
We are no longer accepting applications for the Rose Street Neighborhood. Sign up for our contact list to be made aware of future homeownership opportunities.
