The development contains six buildings that have been constructed in phases, and there have already been two lotteries for the affordable units.

This unit has a living room, dining room, kitchen, and in-unit stacked laundry area, and two full bathrooms. The condo will have exclusive use to certain parking (similar to deeded parking) but it is subject to being transferred if required due to HP necessities. The kitchen has ceramic tile floor, Stainless Steel Appliances (Gas Range, Dishwasher, Microwave, Refrigerator, Sink, Pull‐Down Faucet, and Garbage disposal), granite countertops with matching 4" granite backsplash and an under‐mount double bowl stainless steel sink as well as soft‐close drawers throughout.

All Units have separate and private deeded storage areas in the lower level of their building. Storage areas will be unfinished, but will be wall‐boarded.
The monthly Condominium fee is $226 and represents a proportional share of the total condominium expenses covering landscaping and snow removal, taxes, insurance and contribution to reserve. The homeowner will also pay monthly real estate taxes using Medford’s 2023 tax rate of $8.52 or $200 per month. Please contact Jen Pontes with any questions at JenP@RHSOHousing.org.
