Overview
The Cottages at Ridgeview are a traditional Habitat-built mixed-income community with 4 completed homes, 5 homes under construction, and 6 more on the way. A combination of traditional Habitat homeownership and homes sold on the open market to increase our local workforce housing stock, this project acquired empty lots and vacant buildings and is constructing new, energy efficient craftsmen-styled cottages in their place.

John B., Habitat Catawba Valley Homebuyer, works at the Cottages at Ridgeview. Habitat Homebuyers have a service requirement as a portion of their journey to homeownership.
