A cluster of income-restricted cluster townhouse apartments in northern Concord is expected to get a slight expansion.
The Concord Planning Board gave approval to Concord Housing and Redevelopment Wednesday night to add eight more units at Parmenter Place, where the 25 existing affordable units, built in 2010, are fully booked. The plans would add two- and three-bedroom, two-floor townhouses joined in a single building.
The popular units include heat and hot water.
As low-income housing, people looking to live at the complex must fall under certain thresholds. Currently, eligible tenants for Parmenter Place are those making less than 60% of the local median income, or $46,560 for a single person and $66,480 annually for a three-person household, according to Concord Housing’s website. Some units are set aside for those making less than 50% of the median or, $38,800 for an individual and $55,400 for a four-person household. While applicants must meet the income-requirements, rent is not federally subsidized.
Parmenter Road runs west uphill off of Route 3, near the intersection where North State Street becomes Fisherville Road. The Fisherville area has been a hub for townhouse-style housing developments lately, with two neighboring market-rate projects coming up fast in recent months.
