Located about 40 miles north of Seattle and near the foothills of the Cascade Mountains in Snohomish County, Arlington combines the northwest living with easy access to urban centers and outdoor activities. The site is located along the north side of 172nd Street NE, which is a four-lane thoroughfare that traverses east/west and provides access to Interstate 5 to the west approximately .45 miles.
The development will be located near shopping, recreational amenities, transportation and services including the UW Neighborhood Smokey Point Health Clinic and the Stillaguamish Senior Center. Access to groceries, pharmacy, and shopping is convenient, and within walking distance. A post office and the Arlington Municipal Airport is less than two miles away. The Cascade Valley Hospital and the Arlington Library are less than four miles away. The community is also located within a quarter mile of the Smokey Point Transit Center, which has seven bus routes that will allow residents to easily access all of Arlington. In addition, a transit stop is also being proposed at the frontage along 172nd Street.
Cedar Pointe Apartments will be constructed on a 4.05-acre site in a single four-story elevator building. The community’s colorful, earth-hued exterior will be bordered by alfresco open-air spaces including two fitness walks, a community garden, fire pit, barbeque area, garden plots and two courtyards surrounded by attractive landscaping. Interior community spaces will include a leasing office, community room, media room, exercise room, yoga room, activity room, social/meeting room, two private dining rooms, and a business center.
This LIHTC property is among the most common types of affordable rental housing in the United States. The LIHTC program only provides subsidies to the building’s owner at construction. No subsidies are provided directly to the residents, but the owner must set rents affordable to low-income renters in the area. Our data suggests Cedar Pointe Apartments does not participate in any project-based rent subsidy program. This means you must earn enough to pay the full rent or have your own Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher. For that reason, LIHTC properties tend to have shorter waiting lists or even none at all. LIHTC properties nationwide are required to accept housing vouchers. LIHTC properties were first built in the late 1980's. Because they tend to be newer, these properties are more likely to have larger units, more amenities, and greater tenant service offerings than other affordable housing programs. This property might be right for you if you have a housing voucher or enough income to pay rent, are looking for a high quality property, or need immediate availability. Since this property participates in the LIHTC program, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
