“I didn't know where to begin to make this happen. I could easily have been taken advantage of if I hadn't had a DHIC counselor in my court. They worked very hard to make it all happen. ”
-- Patricia Wilkinson
Our Portfolio
In addition to the education and counseling services of our Homeownership Center, on occasion DHIC develops single family homes and townhouses for sale to first-time and modest-income homebuyers. In fact, over the years we have built or rehabilitated more than 400 homes for sale.
Highland Village Townhomes is our most recent homeownership project. Other DHIC developments include:
Meadowcreek
MeadowCreek is a 68-home subdivision located at Raleigh Boulevard and Rock Quarry Roads in Southeast Raleigh, close to downtown and just one-half mile from the I-440 beltline. Completed in 2006, DHIC sold every home in record time. The homes ranged in price from $105,000 to $142,900 and in size from 1,100 square feet to more than 2,000 square feet. Meadowcreek's model home was a Silver Award winner in the Parade of Homes show sponsored by the Home Builder's Association of Raleigh/Wake County. DHIC's development partner for the subdivision was Murdock and Gannon Construction.
Hunter Street, Cary
Affordable housing in Cary isn't easy to find, but DHIC teamed up with the Town of Cary and Wake County to build four new homes on Hunter Street in Downtown Cary. Completed and sold in 2002, these homes feature custom architect designs reflecting "Old Cary" style. Each home has three bedrooms and two baths, Hardiplank siding, a complete appliance package including range, refrigerator and disposal/dishwasher and generous storage and closets.
Parkworth, Raleigh
Parkworth is a 24-home infill development located adjacent to Shaw University in Downtown Raleigh. The homes were designed to reflect the historic nature of the surrounding South Park community and received recognition from Builder Magazine, receiving a "Builder's Choice" award in 1995.
Joe Louis Park, Raleigh
This 17-unit infill development located on East Lenoir Street was completed in 1998. The single-story homes feature low maintenance energy efficient designs. The neighborhood has been transformed with new private investment after DHIC initiated this development. Homes are now being built that cost in excess of $250,000 providing the range of diversity that the neighborhood has sought for so long.
Wheeler Crossing, Raleigh
Located inside the Beltline between South Saunders Street and Lake Wheeler Road, Wheeler Crossing was DHIC's and the City of Raleigh's first affordable housing subdivision. The forty six homes in the neighborhood were completed in 1992 and sold for about $60,000 each. The homes are now selling in the $90,000 range. The neighborhood remains stable and has served as a stepping stone for many of the initial buyers to move into bigger homes.
