Chalk one up for "What about the neighborhoods" and "Affordable housing".
"A new 53-unit apartment complex in southwest Detroit near Clark Park had its official grand opening Monday and was praised as the right way to build mixed-income housing in the city and combat gentrification.
"La Joya Gardens, 4000 W. Vernor Highway, stretches across an entire block of what had been vacant land.
"They incorporated suggestions from about 200 local residents when coming up with the development's design, amenities and even its name.
"Of the 53 apartments, 42 are set aside at below-market rents, available for those earning no more than 30% to 80% of the area median income, or $20,160 to $53,760 for an individual. Asking rents for those units start at about $540 per month for a one-bedroom."
