Amherst Community Homes

We’re excited to announce a major milestone in our journey: Amherst Community Homes! 🚧✨ We’re proud to be partnering with Valley Community Development and Austin Design Cooperative, Inc. to bring this visionary project to life. Together, we’ll work to create lasting, positive change for our community.

Amherst Community Homes is an affordable homeownership development located on an 8-acre site in North Amherst, MA. The project will feature 30 units, including 18 two-bedroom and 12 three-bedroom homes, arranged in duplexes across 15 one- and two-story buildings. Designed as a community-focused “pocket neighborhood,” the layout prioritizes internal connectivity and shared spaces. The homes will be constructed using wood-frame, slab-on-grade methods, and universal design principles will be incorporated, offering accessible site features, at-grade entrances, and compliant interior doorways. The development is also designed to accommodate modular construction methods and emphasizes energy efficiency, with all-electric heat pump HVAC systems for sustainable living.
