Good schools: Access to highly-rated schools like the Garden Oaks Montessori Magnet School. Convenient location: Close proximity to downtown Houston while still offering a suburban feel.

The power of #partnerships! One of the truly inspiring success stories within the Public Housing revitalization vertical of Pennrose’s mission. #PublicHousing is the safety net of the housing ecosystem, offering the greatest depth of affordable living. Its also no longer being produced, and has been systematically defunded for decades. Despite the work of even the best Public Housing Authorites, who steward the resources of the these critical community assets, this combination of circumstances inevitably results in deferred maintenance, disrepair and disinvestment that contributes to a misunderstanding that poverty is to blame for failures. Not the case, as this coverage of the story of Northside Village tells. Reinvestment in deeply affordable housing to create communities of choice can result in drastically reduced rates of crime and emergency service intervention, that leads to stablizing outcomes for residents and communities alike. Like anything else, the team matters and the story here is uniquely Schenectady, thanks to MUNICIPAL HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF SCHENECTADY, Schenectady County Metroplex Development Authority, and the leadership of Mayor Gary R. McCarthy’s administration. Lead on!

Late last month, the Morristown Zoning Board unanimously approved a back-of-house expansion to the 87-year-old Mayo Performing Arts Center in the Town of Morristown. 🎭 The plan calls for a 31,000 SF five-story addition and a bi-level parking garage. While the historic façade along South Street will be unchanged, #MPAC will now extend from South Street to King Place. We also want to note that most of the back-of-house addition will be dedicated to their #artseducation program, currently located in the buildings being replaced by the expansion. So not only will this expansion add to #Morristown’s historic charm and contribute to its economic vitality, but will also inspire local artists of the future. 🎨👨🎨 Cultural institutions like #MayoPAC are a vital economic engine for downtowns across the State, and particularly in Morristown, not only driving foot traffic to surrounding businesses, but driving the community's economic health. 🛍 In their most recent annual report, the Center stated that the nonprofit arts center generated more than $15 million in revenue for local businesses in the 2022/23 season. 💰 That's no chump change.

Can backyard cottages unlock America's housing crisis? Arizona's recent "casita bill" permitting the construction of ADUs highlights a trend gaining momentum across several states. ADUs offer an innovative solution to housing shortages, providing smaller, affordable living spaces and additional rental income for homeowners. However, they come with challenges like construction costs and potential impacts on community dynamics. Discover the full story and implications of this trend on RiskWire: https://hubs.ly/Q02y2D3Y0 #HousingCrisis #RealEstate #ADUs

The Joseph Hornor House located at 344 Nassau Street #princetonnj in #mercercounty was built in the 1760s by the grandson of one of Princeton's Quaker founders and was added to the 2024 #10Most Endangered Historic Sites List. The house is an anchor to the Jugtown Historic District. The proposed threats facing the site are concerns for the style and impact of a proposed housing redevelopment project. The current project will include adding a four-story structure to the rear that would amass and surround the historic structure. Redevelopments in historic districts are on the rise with new affordable housing and tax credit initiatives. While revitalization of neighborhoods contributes to reactivating historic places, there is a growing trend in demolition and insensitive changes to integral features of structures and streetscapes. More care and sensitivity to the impacts of #historic districts are necessary through compliance with existing #preservation standards and guidelines both at a local, state and federal level. #Thisplacematters #PreservationMonth #SavingsPlaces

🏡 Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are transforming the housing landscape in California. These small, efficient homes are becoming a popular choice to address the state’s housing shortage, offering affordability, flexibility, and sustainability. Recent changes to California laws have made it easier than ever to build ADUs, with streamlined approval processes and zoning flexibility. Whether it’s a backyard unit for extended family, a rental income opportunity, or simply optimizing property use, ADUs are a win-win for homeowners and communities. Beyond affordability, ADUs contribute to urban density without sprawl, making them an eco-friendly solution for modern housing. As ADUs become a cornerstone of California’s housing strategy, it’s exciting to see how they’re reshaping our neighborhoods and supporting sustainable growth. Having the right utility infrastructure is key to their success. At Tarrar, we specialize in seamless planning and design to support these innovative housing solutions. 💡 #UtilityPlanning #ADUDevelopment
