Scott Street-Ravara Housing Development

Ravara Homes are now available!

Ravara includes both market-rate homes and permanently attainable homes through a community land trust model. The homes are part of a planned community which is expected to include a small neighborhood grocery, restaurant, a coffee shop, office space, and other neighborhood amenities. When complete, this will be the largest community land trust development in the state!

Applications open Feb. 9 for the income-qualified homes at Ravara, which include studios, 1-bedrooms, and 2-bedrooms, priced between $176K-$287K. The income-qualified homes are available to buyers earning up to 120% of Area Median Income, which is about $94,000 for a household of two people.
