Rental Housing

Family Housing

CHXI MUSAM ILLIHI

This Tilixam Circle development is a planned rental community for Tribal members of fixed/limited income. The first 36 units were completed in the summer of 2003 and are targeted to low-income families. The apartments are designed around various landscaped garden-like common areas including a central pavilion area. The project consists of six "pods" of six units each, with a separate, semi-private sitting area located near each pod. All of the apartments are in full compliance with disabled accessibility regulations. The units are spacious, sized from 729 square feet for the one bedroom plan, all the way up to 1,873 square feet for the five bedroom plan. The homes are either stand alone or are duplex style in design. All units have appliances including washer and dryers, fenced private yards and assigned carports complete with an exterior storage closet. The outdoor area surrounding the homes boasts stunning views of Spirit Mountain, with interconnecting interior paths, and an additional pedestrian walkway surrounding the community. Common area exterior maintenance is provided by the Housing Department.

The Raven Loop community is a mixture of income based and market rate rental units. The units are designed around a water feature, have a park with a covered court for sports and gatherings, and a play area for children. All of the apartments fully comply with disabled accessibility regulations. The homes are mostly duplex styles, though the five bedroom units are single-family dwellings. The apartments include all appliances and have assigned carports (garages for the premium and standard market units), complete with exterior storage. The outdoor area surrounding the homes boasts stunning views of Spirit Mountain and the coastal range, with interconnecting interior paths and a pedestrian walkway throughout the community. Common area exterior maintenance is provided by the Housing Department

The apartments located on Wind River Dr. opened in the summer 2015. These income-based 1 and 2 bedroom apartments include on-site laundry facilities, play structure, and covered parking. The qualification/eligibility criteria is the same as the other income-based rental units.
