Crystal Palms Apartments - Northwest Corner of 4th Avenue North and B Street

These pictures were taken last Friday during my COP shift. This is a new affordable housing development that is under construction at the above location. Approved after my stint on the Planning and Zoning Board, these are affordable two and three bedroom rental units that will range from $600 to $900 per month. There is a clubhouse and pool in the center of the property.

I was told by a local resident that these are not Section 8 rentals and that management of the project will require strict employment verification prior to the signing of a lease. If you are in the area, you might want to get out of your car and walk around the perimeter of the property to check it out. Also, directly south of 4th Avenue North, west of A Street is the property which contains the so-called "Champion" tree. That property is under separate ownership.
