Redmond is set to make strides in affordable housing as it partners with RootedHomes, a developer known for its sustainable practices, to build 23 homes on 19th Avenue. The groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for September 27 at 11 a. m. , where community members and prospective buyers are encouraged to attend. This marks the first time RootedHomes is bringing its affordable housing model to Redmond, aiming to help low and middle-income families secure homeownership.

The development will feature a mix of two, three, and four-bedroom homes located at 345 NW 19th St. , with sizes ranging from 1,094 square feet for two-bedroom homes to 1,600 square feet for the four-bedroom farmhouse. Homes are anticipated to be priced around $250,000, with specific pricing details to be revealed in the spring when the housing lottery opens. This initiative is a timely response to the growing need for affordable housing in the area, addressing economic and social issues related to homeownership. The project not only aims to provide essential housing options but also promotes sustainable living practices within the community.

With this development, Redmond is taking a proactive approach to combat the housing crisis affecting many families.
