2080 Union Condominium
Walkable and connected
Median $251K·Walkability 6.0/10·Schools 4.0/10
The Community Land Trust model that anchors 2080 Union—where you own the home but lease the land, keeping prices permanently affordable—is still rare enough that when Dwelling Place announced the project, roughly 700 people lined up interested. The 42 homes here range from 968 to 1,415 square feet, all three-bedroom layouts with unfinished basements, priced from $150,000 to around $250,000. The downpayment requirement is just $500 for qualified buyers, and six homes are reserved for families earning below 80% of the area median income. It's a straightforward bet: build quality housing, sell it at a 25% discount off appraised value, and let the permanent affordability mechanism do the rest.

Kent County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced 2080 Union Condominium home (around $250,500) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $44k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $1,666 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |

Estimates use a 6.49% 30-year fixed rate (current Freddie Mac average), an aggressive ~45% housing-to-income ratio (roughly what FHA underwriting can allow for a buyer with no other monthly debts — your number depends on your debts and credit), this area's median sale price, plus estimated insurance and PMI below 20% down. Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
