Page Woodson School

Good grief based on car count it looks like there are still very few people living in the historic school building. Hopefully the word gets out; it is really pretty incredible what they have done and the prices are similarly great.

Another reason to move in here is that Page Woodson is within the coveted Rex Elementary guaranteed-admission boundary.

The prices are great for someone who makes above the income cap, but you must make below 28k/yr to live here. It seems to me that 675/mo for a one bed is far too expensive for folks in that range.

That's close to 29% of their income for rent, and general guidelines are no more than 25% of your income for rent/mortgage, so yeah, that's a bit out of line.

I've always heard 30% or one third. Seems right in line with that.

Great project! And nice to see such progress. Though I wonder if there is a need for that huge of a parking lot.. Seems like wasted space that could have been green.

The first tenants have moved into the new phase:

They should hire someone to paint a mural on that retaining wall.

A coffee shop was supposed to go on that corner but I don't think that is happening any time soon.

The two residential homes on 6th have been demolished. Construction on the next phase will probably start soon!

Thank you!

How is the main school building filling up?

Perhaps it is in this thread. But are the income requirements only for specific units/buildings? Or will this entire project be subject to those guidelines?

Thank you, Pete! Was having a hard time finding that post!

Pete, it is a slow go, but there are lots of new people including small families with kids. So the halls are sometimes filled with echoing laughter and running. Also, there are more events happening in the theater.

Are there floorplans of the school building that can be posted? Curious to see how the space was drawn out into apartments and layout.

Are you sure that’s not just the ghosts there?

If those are ghosts they seem to be very happy and friendly!

Pete, there has been some movement at Kelley Ave. between 4th and 3rd. A ton of tree removal and they have cleaned up the area that looked like a small dumping site. Just a block east of Jewel Theatre. Do you know if there are any plans for this area out in the public yet? Thanks!

I know a lot of people here love this, but i cannot get over the "government project" feel to those grey buildings. I hope they keep this area well kept.
