Converted Site Gets Workforce Housing

Lemon Grove Apartments consists of 82 apartments with rents affordable to working families with household incomes ranging from 30% to 60% of AMI.

ORANGE, CA—Orange Housing Development Corp. and C&C Development have completed construction on the Lemon Grove Apartments, a new workforce-housing community developed on a 3.5-acre former industrial site here. The project at 1148 N. Lemon St. features 82 apartments with rents affordable to working families with household incomes ranging from 30% to 60% of the area median income, starting at $537 a month for a family of four.

Lemon Grove consists of four three-story apartment buildings that encompass 24 two-bedroom and 58 three-bedroom apartments designed to serve large families. The community was developed on the site of a 1965 industrial facility that was demolished for the new residential project and is adjacent to another workforce-housing property, Citrus Grove, a 57-unit apartment project also built on an industrial site by Orange Housing and C&C Development in 2010.
