Want an Affordable Home in Concord?

A town doesn’t always go looking for people to live in it, but that’s what’s happening here in Concord. 

A three-bedroom on Elm Brook Lane is available for an income-qualified buyer, and the town has put the call out for prospective buyers of this moderate-affordable unit.

In fact, an open house will be held at 87 Elm Brook Lane from 1 to 3 p.m. this Sunday, Aug. 18 for any and all interested buyers making less than 110 percent of the Boston area median income – for this property, that ranges from about $72,000 for a single-person household up to $120,000 for a six-person home. 

From the town’s announcement:

This detached single-family, three bedroom home was built in 2002 as part of the Elm Brook Homes, a twelve unit development located on Virginia Road across from the Thoreau Birth House and adjacent to Town owned open space and conservation lands. With just under 1,700 sf. of living space, the unit has a partially finished basement, abundant storage, and appliances including a gas stove, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, washer and dryer. 87 Elm Brook Lane is currently listed at $354,403.

The available unit is one of 12 constructed as part of the Elm Brook Homes. Information on income eligibility requirements and applications are available in the Concord Planning Division office, at 141 Keyes Road or online.  

More from the town’s announcement:

Applications for this housing opportunity will be reviewed on a first submitted basis and assistance with completing the application is available.
