The city of Greensboro celebrated the opening of a brand-new apartment community on Monday that will bring more affordable housing to the area.
The Lofts at Elmsley Crossing is an 84-unit apartment complex created for low and moderate-income families. The development is based in southeast Greensboro and offers a mix of one, two and three-bedroom garden-style homes.
The new complex is in Councilmember Sharon Hightower's district. She says its proximity to the Greensboro-Randolph Megasite helps to offer neighbors economic opportunities.
"Being right here in this particular area, it even is in such that you could carpool together to get a job that pays well, to help you grow economically, to be able to invest in yourself, invest in your family, become a homeowner," Hightower says. "All those things are important, and it sometimes depends on where you live that that can happen."
The $19 million project was created through a public-private partnership between Trinity Housing Development, Central Developers and Halcon Companies.
Rents for the homes range from $370 to around $1,100.
