The resurgence of Park Heights continues with a ribbon cutting of a brand new affordable housing property. A ribbon cutting was held and it’s the latest efforts in rebuilding a once neglected community.
In the 4700 block of Park Heights Avenue, used to sit vacant homes. Now, there is affordable housing, representing a beacon of hope as we kickstart a brand new chapter in this Park Heights community.
Woodland Gardens One is a brand new 63-unit affordable housing property in Park Heights.
Aside from this building offering one, two, and three-bedroom units, Woodland Gardens One offers an outdoor garden, playground for kids, fitness center, media and game room, and plenty of other amenities for residents.
“I don’t have to leave my building for anything. I can come out of my building, wash clothes go to the gym, take my daughter to read a book, color, anything,” says Shawntay Thompson, a resident at Woodland Gardens One.
Thompson and her daughter live here. It’s the first time she’s ever lived on her own. This was made possible with the help of people working with Park Heights Renaissance, a group that played a large role in reviving this community.
