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, it is a short walk to bustling downtown Haywood Street. The first house was started in February 2011 and construction on the neighborhood is scheduled to last into late 2013. When complete, the subdivision will boast 22 new Green Built single-family 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes. The Arts-and-Crafts style houses are between 900 and 1,400 square feet.

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!

Woodfin

In July 2012, Habitat began building on Elkwood Avenue in Woodfin, just north of Asheville, NC. Four Arts & Crafts-style, energy-efficient houses will be built on the parcel which was donated to AAHH. Three of the four houses are fully sponsored, and we are seeking more sponsors.
