Affordable Infill Housing
brings new budget friendly homes to
existing neighborhoods enhancing
community growth
What is Affordable Infill Housing?
Affordable infill housing brings new homes to vacant, often blighted spaces, making efficient use of underutilized land while strengthening communities. By integrating thoughtfully designed housing within established areas, we create vibrant, accessible living spaces without expanding urban sprawl.
Uses Existing Infrastructure
– builds on empty or
unused land , using existing
roads, water, and
electricity.
Increases Housing Supply
& Affordability – gives
people more choices and
helps keep rent and home
prices lower.
Helps the Environment –
Building in cities instead of
spreading out into nature
means less pollution, more
walking, and better public
transportation.
Makes Neighborhoods
Better –Revitalizing vacant
lots and neglected areas
helps local businesses, and
brings people together.
