Rose Street Neighborhood

Thank you for joining us as we celebrated groundbreaking of the Rose Street Neighborhood! Over 75 community members, partners, and supporters were present as shovels hit the ground for our first CLT neighborhood in Blue River. See here for photos of the event.

The MCLT's first neighborhood has broken ground in Blue River!
6 Affordable Homes:  Stick-built & Firewise, 3 bedrooms/2 baths, approximately 1,300 sq ft


The Rose Street neighborhood homes will provide permanently affordable homeownership opportunities for full-time McKenzie families earning less than 80% area medium income.  Using the community land trust model, we will sell the home to a qualified buyer and not the land, making it affordable.  The buyer signs a 99 year lease on the land. 


Interested in purchasing one of our community land trust homes?
Join our contact list to stay informed of the progress & mark you're interested in homeownership opportunities! The 6 homes will take about 1 year to build.  Applications for interested homeowners will be accepted summer of 2025. 
All qualified applicants will then be entered into a lottery. More details coming in 2025.


The Rose Street Neighborhood will also serve as a model for building firewise homes and firewise landscaping.  To learn more about firewise prepared homes visit wildfireprepared.org.


Our development partner is Springfield-based non-profit, DevNW. DevNW has a proven track record of developing high quality, affordable community land trust homes in Lane County and throughout Oregon.
