From Little to Big: A Growing Problem
The greater Lowell community is in the midst of a housing shortage, similar to the rest of our state and nation. Housing is complex, and housing that is affordable even more so. But how did we get here and what does it mean? Essentially, there is an imbalance between supply and demand, the result of strong economic growth in West Michigan. In the past few years, many new businesses have moved to the Lowell area and others have expanded, bringing more employees. At the same time, our strong school district continues to attract new families. All of this is great, but affordable housing has not kept pace. And our neighbors in need are impacted the most.

FAQ
How can get I get on the waitlist for this housing?
Unfortunately there is no waitlist at this time. Look for more information in 2026.
How do I apply to live here?
When the units are available for rent, there will be a sign in front of the building and other notification of their availability. Because building hasn't started yet, we cannot provide any more timing.
