Yep. Aprtments are getting hard to find and are absurdly expensive in some cases. It's not uncommon for Cast members to share an apartment with multiple cast members just to keep their cost of living down.
Well lets hope its nothing like the observed prices they are charging College Program students. In some cases they are getting $3600+ a month in rent from a 3 bedroom unit with 6 CP's in it. That number should be well under $2000 a month.
Yup.
The article said the affordable housing area is for Central FL residents, not just for cast members.
I remember Cummins boasting about building affordable housing to "help". 1 bedroom apartment 838sqft started at 1300/month. For perspective apartments the same size go for around $550/month at other places in town. 3bd start at $2400. Starting pay for factory workers is $15/hr.
$550 a month? Where? at crime ridden Pine ( Crime ) Hills near Universal or many parts of Orange Blossom Trail , Tangelo Park by tourist central International Drive etc not for the faint of heart.. One thing is for sure, the new affordable housing will not be in these parts of Orlando.
I bought a house in ChampionsGate in 2012 for $145,000. I sold it in 2014 for $170,000. It's now worth about $400,000.
I bought my condo for 40k. Units in my building are selling for 200k+. I kind of regret not buying in 2019 but we just werent ready. We are ready now, and houses have gone up like 100k+ than what we were originally looking at...and theres no inventory. Friend got a new build in winter garden for like 425k and I think he said someone in his neighborhood just sold for 750k.
I'm sure they're on spacious lots of 1/8 acre, too.
Jackson Co. Indiana. I never trust when a company says "affordable housing" in general. It's still way outside the normal for the area, and would expect the Disney stamp comes with a premium.
When buying a new home from spec, many new homeowners don't but some do - tell the builder to position/ build your home further back so one can have a bigger front yard and a bigger concrete driveway.
Ludicrous? More like lunacy. People really need to learn limits.
Places not too unlike Flamingo Crossing. Imagine if these and the other residential units there were built over the stores. If they were built to easily walk between the shops, hotels, dorms and apartments it would be convenient and cheaper because people wouldn’t have to drive. Designing this isn’t hard or difficult. Changing the zoning can be hard, but not when you effectively control the zoning. Because of the pervasiveness of lousy zoning we see such mixing of uses as one offs and a luxury, not the default development pattern that makes sense.
