Development of New Property in NC Creates Additional Affordable Housing Options for Local Seniors

Gastonia, a city that sits just west of Charlotte, North Carolina, boasts a desirable combination of natural surroundings and a vibrant business environment. Gastonia's ideal location, size, and atmosphere have allowed the city to be selected as an "All-American City" three times. The overall population of Gastonia has been steadily growing, especially among senior renters (55+) in part due to its proximity to Charlotte and smaller town feel. The senior demographic is expected to continue to grow over the next few years. The demand for additional affordable housing options in the community is clear with area Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) properties regularly maintaining 100% occupancy with lengthy waitlists.

Glenwood Gardens is a new construction development comprised of 58 affordable housing units for seniors earning less than 60% of the Area Median Income. The split-level elevatored building consists of one- and two-bedroom units that are equipped with a range, refrigerator, dishwasher, ceiling fans, walk-in closets, and emergency pull cords. The property's design allows all units to open to an interior hallway and includes self-locking exterior doors that have keypads for added security.
