MESHACKET RENTAL APPLICATIONS

The application period for affordable rental and ownership at Meshacket Commons is closed.

Island Housing Trust, in partnership with Affirmative Investments, was selected by the Town of Edgartown to construct 40 permanently affordable, year-round homes on Meshacket Road. The neighborhood will consist of 36 rental homes and 4 ownership homes. The Meshacket Commons neighborhood has been in the works for more than a decade and will aim to serve residents with incomes between 30% and 100% of Dukes County area median income (AMI) for rentals and between 90% and 120% AMI for the homeownership townhouses. In addition to housing, the site design includes a pedestrian and bike-friendly neighborhood with a community building that has communal indoor space and a property management office. Other amenities include outdoor play areas, passive recreational spaces, and paths that connect to the Old Meshacket Road ancient way. The site plan respects the site’s natural surroundings by protecting open spaces and maintains as much of the existing vegetation as possible.
