NORTHAMPTON — A housing lottery for Prospect Place, an affordable apartment community currently under renovation is now open for interested applicants.

Located at 737 Bridge Rd. in Northampton, Valley Community Development and HMR Properties are now accepting lottery applications for the new affordable housing units that will be located in what is the old Northampton Nursing Home building.

The new affordable apartment community will feature 60 affordable apartments, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments with all utilities included and a range of amenities for residents. In total, there will be 10 studio apartment units, 14 one-bedroom units, 31 two-bedroom units and five three-bedroom units available in all.

Regional Senior Property Manager for HMR Liz Reno told Reminder Publishing this lottery was another great opportunity for people to apply and get a chance at new affordable housing units. HMR and Valley Community Development just finished another local affordable housing project in the recently finished construction at a Laurel Street property in the city.

“Valley is very committed to developing affordable housing opportunities, particularly in Hampshire County,” said Reno. “HMR is doing the lottery and then we’ll do the property management once the project is complete.”
