150 Apartments
Location:
1407 South 34th Street
Mount Vernon, IL 62864
Garden Glen Apartments is a perfect example of how affordable and income-restrictive housing can be developed with taste, energy efficiency, and respect for the environment.
Garden Glen features high density building practices with 19 units per acre. The townhome style buildings are efficient and less expensive to operate and maintain than a conventional building of lesser quality. Ultimately, that means the property owner can offer lower rents without sacrificing financial returns, and without complete dependency on government subsidy programs.
To keep landscape maintenance cost at a minimum, native plants and grasses were used throughout the property. Not only do these plants and grasses require little to no upkeep, they also naturally promote water conservation, and provide a thriving habitat for a variety of birds and small animals.
Project Features
- High density of 19 units per acre
- Use of native pants and grasses
- Energy efficient, low E windows
- Energy efficient plumbing fixtures
- Close to shopping, health care, transportation, and dining
- Each apartment unit has a townhome feel
