Story

Avalon Housing has worked with Cornerstone Design Inc since its founding, including minor projects on some of its smaller houses, as well as two larger projects: the renovations of Arbordale Apartments, and its latest, Carrot Way Apartments. This was Avalon’s first ground-up development. Despite the limited budget for Avalon’s low-income housing, the design strove to provide an appearance similar to what might be found on a market-rate development. The site combines one and two bedroom flats, 3-bedroom townhouses, and a community center with space for support services, meetings, and maintenance staff. A particular goal is accessibility for people with disabilities. All ground floor units are visitable, and a high proportion are fully accessible.
