NorthStar Community Development Corp. is currently building 45 homes over a seven-block area surrounded by Puritan, Livernois, the Lodge to the Highland Park border.
NorthStar has been tearing down dilapidated homes in this area to build new, infill housing that will serve as a catalyst for new development and enhance neighborhood identity. The first new homes of the University Village Homes project broke ground in October.
All homes will be leased to residents, who have filled out an application and met qualification standards. Homes will range from 1,400 to 1,600 square feet with either three or four bedrooms. Leasing prices will be between $381 and $801 per month depending on income levels.
To date, three homes have been completed with the first three occupants moving in on the week of Jan. 30. NorthStar plans to have three new homes completed and ready for move in every week until the project is finished.
