Another one of our frequently asked questions is: what is the typical size of the properties we acquire?

We acquire properties ranging from small complexes with as few as 20 units to large multi-state portfolios. Our flexible approach allows us to invest in a variety of property sizes to meet our strategic objectives.

Redefining what’s possible for affordable housing—without displacing the community.

According to the Greenville Business Magazine, Greenville has also made significant strides in affordable housing, adding 2,200 affordable apartments out of 19,464 total new units—about 11.3% of all construction.

This marks a 242% increase from the previous five-year period, when affordable housing accounted for just 6.4% of new development.

Vista West III underwent a full “gut” renovation by essentially turning a tired 1970s-era complex into a “like-new” community.

The renovation includes interiors (new appliances, finishes, and energy-efficient systems), improved insulation and windows for lower utility costs, repaired structure and roofing, refreshed exteriors and landscaping, and added amenities for safety and comfort. By upgrading all 38 units at once (rather than a building-half at a time), the project also gained efficiency and presented a fully improved community.

Does this look like it could be your future home?

Our April 23rd Vista West III ribbon cutting was a huge success. If you attended the event, thank you so much for coming out and showing your support for our latest development!

During this project, we partnered with Southeast Affordable Housing Administration (SAHA), a non-profit organization that works and educates third-party for-profit owners on affordable housing incentives, to subsidize the relocation of residents to nearby Affordable Upstate assets while Vista West III was refurbished. SAHA provided moving expenses as well as subsidizing the rents of the existing residents.

In addition, we worked with NOAH Property Management, which is an economically mobility-driven property management company, to help place residents’ economic health at heart of the project. 

Stay tuned! This story has been captured in a documentary that will come out soon.

What is “the AU difference?”

Our investments are energy efficient, walkable and actively managed communities, offering both affordable and market-rate housing options that add value to the neighborhood they’re located in and encourage the growth of balanced communities where all residents feel valued.

We also  leverage local expertise and longstanding relationships with sellers, brokers, and builders to capitalize on assets being purchased.

We say the word all the time, but what does affordable housing really mean? An easy way to remember what constitutes as affordable housing is the 30% rule.

Affordable housing means spending no more than 30% of your income on rent or a mortgage—leaving room for the rest of life.

And it’s not just for one group; it’s for teachers, healthcare workers, service industry employees, young professionals, seniors, and families alike. In reality, it’s for anyone who wants a safe, stable place to call home without financial strain.
