Property Description
This “first of its kind” veteran family apartment development allows residents to live in a safe and positive environment — part of a healthy, growing community with an emphasis on education and recreational activities.
The U-shape residential building provides an outdoor backyard for residents with landscaping designed to create distinct spaces including playgrounds for toddlers and young children, patios, barbeque grill areas and gardens. The parking garage has access to apartments from each floor. A community center houses smaller spaces for one-on-one and small group support meetings, a computer lab and laundry facilities.
Valor Crossing is a transit-oriented suburban community within walking distance of schools, job centers, retail stores and services. 25 units have been specifically designated for veterans who experienced homelessness previously. Abode Services and the Office of Veterans Affairs provide support while the local community college provides training through their Veterans First program.
