Wheat Ridge Housing Authority Condo Conversion Projects

In cooperation with The Wheat Ridge Housing Authority, Jefferson County Housing Authority is working to develop affordable housing for first-time buyers, in Wheat Ridge. We are currently completing our third conversion of apartment buildings into condominiums for first time homebuyers. The first project was 14 units completed in 2002 located at 38th and Quail Street; the second project was 8 units completed in 2004 at 6410 West 44th Place. The third project that is available is 8 units at 4501 Everett Street. The buyers must occupy the property as their primary residence. A single person earning approximately $30,000 can qualify for one of these homes, if their debt is not to high, based on current interest rates. This means that teachers, clerks, police and firefighters of the community might be able to buy homes. For sales information, please contact Larry Nelson at Cornerstone Reality at (303) 987-8812.

In Wheat Ridge, the emphasis is on home ownership for first-time buyers. The City Council wanted to designs a program so working people could afford a home. Before that could happen, the city needed to create the Wheat Ridge Housing Authority (WRHA), which the City Council accomplished by resolution in January 2001.
