In Development

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 car 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 July 2026 and will be available for sale via lottery selection. Only applicants who meet the applicable eligibility requirements shall be entered the lottery.

The application period is currently open, through February 24, 2026. For more information, please visit the project website amherstcommunityhomes.com
