With the federal tax credit winding down, there seems to be a lot more houses coming up for sale in the neighborhood.

Don’t forget Affordable Housing Awareness Week.

Speaking of affordable housing, the Oregon Hill Home Improvement Council is excited to be building three new modular houses on the 600 block of South Laurel St. The lots have been vacant for more than a decade. These houses will be in the Italianate/Victorian style, complementing the style of the neighborhood, and two of the three will be the first “affordable” modular homes in the Richmond area.

These will be 2-3 bedroom homes in the $165’s and up, only a block and a half from the river. These historically sensitive houses are being developed by Alan Townsend, an Alliance to Conserve Old Richmond Neighborhoods 2007 Golden Hammer award winner.
