New Student Housing Community Proposed in Rockingham County
Scott P. Rogers
A new student housing community may be built in Rockingham County depending on (among other things) the outcome of the public hearing of the rezoning of the land that will take place tomorrow, April 5th.
Below is an illustration of where the community would be located -- just off Reservoir Street, just past the City/County line when headed towards the hospital.
This location is in the vicinity of several other student housing communities, so it is not a surprising location to be proposed for this community.
Per documents submitted to the County, we know the following about this potential student housing community....
- the community would be a mix of detached homes, duplexes and quads
- amenities would likely include a clubhouse with fitness center and study facilities, outdoor swimming pool, outdoor gaming courts and extensive walking and biking trails
- this community would have no more than 178 residential units and no more than 715 beds (bedrooms)
You can view lots of details about this proposal by downloading the full packet of information from the rezoning request which includes the master plan and illustrations of the front elevations of some of the potential dwellings to be built. Download it here.
