We’ve always got our antennae up for decent affordable housing on a brownstone scale. We’re not sure whether this example on Evans Street in Vinegar Hill qualifies as affordable (lowercase or uppercase) but it does strike us as a good attempt at modest townhouse-style homes. It uses nice brick, the scale is contextual and the driveways on not too conspicuous. And while the cornices and lintels aren’t perfect, they show effort. And look: No Con Ed meters on the facade. It can be done! These places also have the added benefit of looking out at the Commandant’s House. These three-story houses were developed by a group called Vinegar Hill Group, LLC and sold in 2005 in the low $800,000′s. Does anyone know if there was any government funding or subsidies involved and/or income requirements of buyers? GMAP P*Shark
