Applications are now open for a new affordable homeownership opportunity in Wenatchee as the Common Ground Community Housing Trust begins accepting applicants for the Crail Cottages development on 9th Street.
The project marks the nonprofit’s first completed effort using a community land trust model designed to keep homes permanently affordable for local residents.
Crail Cottages includes eight cottage-style homes, four one-bedroom and four two-bedroom units, each about 970 square feet. The homes are priced at $180,000 for one-bedroom units and $207,000 for two-bedroom units. The lower prices are made possible through partnerships with lenders, local governments and community supporters who helped bridge the gap between construction costs and sale prices.
