Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity is proud to partner with the City of St. Paul, St. Paul Port Authority, Sherman Associates, and BIPOC development partner JO Companies on the largest modern-day investment in St. Paul’s East Side. The project is a redevelopment of the 112-acre former Hillcrest Golf Course at the intersection of Larpenteur Avenue and McKnight Road that will prioritize community connectivity, affordable housing, and outdoor amenities to residents who live, work, and visit the area. Construction is currently underway!
Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity will create 147 mid-density affordable housing units on 12 acres. The majority will be townhomes (twin homes, triplexes, and fourplexes), with some single-family homes. This will be the largest project in Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity’s history, and was the site of the 2024 Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project!
The project is designed to create mixed-use affordable housing (rental and homeownership)—bringing housing, employment opportunities, and public amenities to the richly diverse community of St. Paul’s East Side.
Homes will be available to low- and moderate-income first-time homebuyers who meet Twin Cities Habitat’s program and mortgage criteria and income guidelines (up to 100% area median income). Potential buyers who are currently living on the East Side are particularly encouraged to keep an eye out for updates about this project.
