Carney Place

Asheville Area Habitat is currently building in the Carney Place subdivision in West Asheville.  Located at the corner of Virginia and Brotherton Avenues in West Asheville, it is a short walk to bustling downtown Haywood Street.  When complete at the end of 2012, the subdivision will boast 22 new HealthyBuilt single-family 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes.  The Arts-and-Crafts style houses are between 900 and 1,400 square feet.  The first house, started in February 2011, closed in August.  The homeowners (Robles-Leon family) is pictured here with the Millers.  Katie Miller's parents, Rosemma and Woody Coppess, made a bequest to Habitat to build a house for a family in need.

As part of our Building a Way Home campaign, our Board of Directors recommended that we purchase enough land for 150 building lots while land costs are low (relative).  Carney Place is the first neighborhood to be built as a result of “land banking” efforts.

The name Carney Place was requested by a donor, to whom we offered the naming opportunity in appreciation of his generous support.

Habitat for Humanity International is doing a 12-18 month web series on our Carney Place neighborhood.  Get to know some of the families and watch the neighborhood progress.  Check it out!

Shiloh

Asheville Area Habitat is excited to return to Shiloh, some 10+ years after building 32 Habitat homes there, including 17 in Habitat's Wilson Creek sub-division. Three houses will be built on Chapel Park Place in Shiloh’s core district.  By the summer of 2013, three families will be established as homeowners and will be calling the Shiloh community home.  Established as a community for the black workers on the Biltmore Estate, Shiloh is a historic African-American community in Asheville.
