Waitlist Forecast

Since this property is a LIHTC property that might not have a project based rental assistance contract, it is likely that it either has no waiting list or the waiting list is shorter than properties with rental assistance. You should contact the property to verify.

Note: Affordable Housing Online has not confirmed the waiting list status directly with the property. This waiting list status forecast is based on our housing experts' knowledge of similar properties. You should always confirm this status directly with the property.

The beautiful one, two and three bedroom homes each feature an open floorplan with the living room, dining room and kitchen all flowing into one another. Nine foot ceilings and oversized windows are also standard throughout to further enhance the open feeling. Spacious bedrooms and closets, a laundry area in each home, a full kitchen appliance package with islands in 2 and 3 bedrooms, and an underground parking space complete the homes features. Many homes also have spectacular views of Downtown Minneapolis.

Dave's Thoughts On The Ridge Apartments

Because The Ridge Apartments participates in HUD's HOME program for rental housing and the LIHTC program, at least some of the units in this property are set aside for households earning 60% or less of the AMI and rents are capped at the local FMR and in many cases much lower. For a HOME project of this size, some of the units are set aside for households at or below 50% AMI with a corresponding lower rent cap. As this property appears not to have a project-based subsidy or any other Federal assistance, you likely will have to pay your own rent, albeit, at a lower rent amount thanks to the HOME and LIHTC programs. Since this property participates in the HOME and LIHTC programs, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
