89 Affordable Housing Units Planned for Former Rosetta Stone Building in Downtown Harrisonburg

Rosetta Stone
Way back in May 2023 the former Rosetta Stone building in downtown Harrisonburg (all 47,860 SF of it) sold for $2,950,000... complete with 27 on-site parking spots.

Now, it seems this building will be converted into 89 affordable housing units, right in downtown Harrisonburg!

This new apartment complex will be called the Flats at West Market and will be possible due in part to a $1.2 million grant from the Commonwealth of Virginia's Housing Investment Program.

This $1.2 million grant going towards the Flats at West Market was a part of an overall  $17 million investment in workforce housing across Virginia.

Read more about the Flats at West Market as well as the Virginia Housing Investment Program via a variety of additional reporting below.
