Housing Conditions
A review of the target area revealed that the existing housing may be grouped into
the following major categories: Older Single-Family Housing (pre-1960), Newer Single-
Family Housing (post-1960), and Multi-Family Rental Properties.
Older Single-Family Housing (pre-1960)
The majority of single-family housing south of 30th Street was constructed prior to
the 1930s while the majority of the single-family housing north of 30th Street was
constructed between 1930 and 1950. The units range from well-maintained to
deteriorated with the greatest concentration of deteriorated units in the area targeted
under the Southeast Community Redevelopment Plan. NNRHA has provided grants and
low-interest loans for more than two decades to residential property-owners in the
proposed NRSA target area which has helped to stabilize a somewhat fragile real estate
market.Jump to an indexed page (228 of 228)
