Affordable family townhouse community, a transit-oriented development just a block from a stop of the new Muni Third Street Light Rail. It was designed and built in conjunction with the adjacent Armstrong Senior Housing, which brings new neighborhood-serving retail space and community services to the area. Two sections of stacked (2 unit) townhouses flank a large shared open public courtyard and also each feature a private gated courtyard. The central public courtyard features allotment gardens for families to grow food and flowers, as well as a rain garden. There are a total of 124 units; 52 2-bedroom, 48 3-bedroom and 24 4-bedroom. Additionally ten three-story townhomes with private garages line Mendell Street. These for-sale townhomes range from $175,000 to $345,000 and are available to families earning between 60 and 100% AMI. (2011 figures). (Source: ArchDaily; http://www.archdaily .com/)
