Prospect Place — 737 Bridge Road, Northampton, MA (60 family apartments)
Valley was awarded funding from the Department of Energy Resources (DOER) and the MassHousing Climate Ready Homes Program for geothermal at Prospect Place. Using these grants, we will convert from existing fossil fuel systems to all-electric systems powered by alternative energy sources. The geothermal will heat, cool, and provide hot water, while PV solar will support other electricity needs.
The development is under construction and will be complete by the fall of 2025.
Amherst Community Homes - North Amherst, MA
Valley began construction on an affordable homeownership development in April 2025, to create 30 homes on a 9-acre property in North Amherst. The development will be 15 duplex condominiums clustered around shared open spaces and parking arrangements to minimize vehicular traffic and emphasize community connections. Homes are highly energy efficient and passive solar.
All homes will be deed restricted to Low-to-Moderate Income first-time homebuyer households, with a preference for homebuyers that meet the CommonWealth Builders (CWB) program purchaser restrictions. Homes are expected to be completed in 2026 and will be available for sale via lottery selection. Only applicants who meet the applicable eligibility requirements shall be entered the lottery. To determine your eligibility, please fill out the Interest Form and a member of our marketing team will contact you.
Final sale prices will be set by public funders at the time of marketing for the lottery and will be based on federal HUD Household Income Limits and market conditions, such as Freddie Mac 30-year interest rates.
