Just a stone's throw away from this new student housing being built on Reservoir Street, you will find another large patch of bare earth in preparation for a new residential development.

This new community is being built on the site of the former Albert Long baseball field off of Reservoir Street (across from Fieldale Place) in Rockingham County.  This complex will be called Robinson Park, and will include 88 garden-style apartments. 

According to the developer, this will include:

• (12) one-bedroom apartments
   
  
• (44) two-bedroom apartments
   
  
• (32) three-bedroom apartments

A clubhouse / community building will also be constructed.

Per this Daily News Record article....

• Tenants will have to meet earnings qualifications to rent at Robinson Park. Surber said 44 units would be rented to people earning 60 percent or less of the median income for the area and 44 would be for people earning 50 percent or less of the median.
   
  
• Rent rates aren't set because all the financing isn't settled, Surber said, but she expects one-bedroom units to lease for $375 to $475, two-bedroom apartments to rent for $550 to $675, and three bedrooms to go for $750 to $760.
