Grissom Lane Apartments

Grissom Lane Apartments is a community newly developed, designed, built, and managed by Community Housing Partners (CHP). This community is for residents aged 55 years and older. Each cottage was built to EARTHCRAFT Net-Zero standards, meaning each home produces as much or more energy than it uses. Electricity is generated by a 30kW photovoltaic system, while high insulation values, extensive air sealing, and mini-split heat pumps are used to reduce the energy demand on the homes.

Located on 1.2 acres, Grissom Lane Apartments has four duplex cottages with each containing two apartments with two bedrooms. The apartments were designed using Universal Design features to help facilitate aging in place for its residents. The site has been rezoned to ‘planned residential,’ which allows the homes to be more intimately arranged along a short walking loop. This site design creates space for a community garden and central gathering area where residents have the opportunity to create a supportive community. Grissom Apartments is a completely smoke-free development.
