Westwood Crossing serves as a pioneer project in the comprehensive revitalization of Washington, Indiana, designed to transform a distressed area into a vibrant, high-quality residential neighborhood. Developed to achieve both community and economic goals, the project provides 1- and 2-bedroom apartment homes where rent is based on income, ensuring accessible housing options for the city. This centralized development was made possible through the use of rental housing tax credits and NSP funds, with the land provided below market value to support the city’s long-term growth and stability.
Sustainability and quality are core components of the community’s design, earning it a prestigious National Green Building Standard Gold rating. Each residence is equipped with high-efficiency features, including Energy Star-rated appliances, programmable thermostats, and water-conservation toilets, showers, and faucets. The development’s commitment to the environment extends to the exterior, where a rain garden in the cul-de-sac provides natural drainage retention and enhances the landscape’s beauty, alongside several dedicated green spaces throughout the property.
Strategically located in the heart of the city, Westwood Crossing offers residents immediate proximity to major employers, schools, and community parks, as well as local grocery stores and restaurants. Beyond the physical structure, the project incorporates support services designed to meet high development standards and improve the overall well-being of the residents. By blending green building practices with a focus on neighborhood revitalization, Westwood Crossing stands as a model for sustainable and impactful community development in the region.
