Property Manager Highlights Need for Similar Housing Developments in Pocatello
In Pocatello, a new housing initiative, the Steel Hollow Cottage Community, is set to address local housing demands. Located on Jefferson Avenue, this development comprises 16 cottage-style units, with expectations of completion by January.
Overview of Steel Hollow Cottage Community
The developers of the Steel Hollow Cottage Community are responding to a significant housing need in the area. Six of the units have already been rented, with applications available for the remaining 10 through the Steel Hollow website.
Development Details
- Location: 620 Jefferson Avenue, Pocatello
- Number of Units: 16 cottages
- Size of Each Unit: Approximately 460 square feet
- Rent Price: $1,100 per month
- Completion Date: Expected by January
Brandon DesFosses, the property manager at Idaho Management, emphasizes that these cottages cater to individuals seeking a modest living space without sacrificing community. The unique design avoids uniformity with various styles: Foundry, Forge, and Mill. These variations include distinct backdrops, interior colors, and exteriors to enhance the aesthetic appeal.
Addressing Housing Needs in Pocatello
The Steel Hollow development is essential in meeting Pocatello’s housing demands for affordable options. DesFosses notes that rental spaces priced under $1,200 are in high demand, with minimal vacancies in existing apartment-style rentals.
Need for Similar Developments
DesFosses advocates for the construction of additional housing similar to Steel Hollow. He believes that developing more properties in the $1,200 price range is crucial to fulfilling the housing requirements of Pocatello residents. “If you can do 20 of these… that’s what we’re looking for,” said DesFosses.
This community initiative highlights the urgent need for modern, affordable housing solutions in Pocatello, paving the way for potential new developments in the near future.
