Jevue Club Apartments, a 40-unit community originally constructed in 1977, underwent a transformative rehabilitation that significantly enhanced the quality of life for families while preserving critically needed affordable housing in Wetzel County, West Virginia. All units remained rent-restricted to families earning 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI) or less, with 10 units designated for households earning below 40% AMI.
Situated on 7.17 acres, the community's five single-story residential buildings were completely overhauled under the leadership of Buckeye Community Hope Foundation, with day-to-day operations expertly managed by its affiliate, RLJ Management. Every one of the 40 two-bedroom units was rebuilt with modern, durable materials and energy-efficient upgrades.

Enhancements made to Jevue Club included updated appliances, central air conditioning, washer/dryer hookups, and all-new flooring, cabinetry, windows, roofing, and siding—creating homes that are both functional and comfortable for today's families. Beyond the units themselves, the redevelopment project brought sweeping site improvements. A newly constructed 1,168-square-foot community building is now a vibrant hub with a computer lab, laundry facilities, and on-site management offices. Outdoor spaces were also revitalized, including new playground equipment, a resurfaced basketball court with new hoops, and refreshed landscaping that enhances the overall appeal and livability of the property.
Thanks to the dedication of a strong development and management team—Buckeye Community Hope Foundation and RLJ Management—Jevue Club Apartments stands renewed. The project not only restored an aging asset but reaffirmed a steadfast commitment to providing safe, high-quality, and affordable housing for current and future generations in Wetzel County.
