Foxcroft Terrace Apartments, now rebranded as Forest Creek Apartments

By Evelina Croitoru

Rittenhouse Realty Advisors has struck a deal to dispose of the Foxcroft Terrace Apartments in Darby, Pa. The 82-unit community traded for $5.4 million, which translates to almost $66,000 per unit. The new owner will operate the residential asset as Forest Creek Apartments.

“This is the third apartment community we have sold to this buyer in the last year. He is very bullish in the Southeast Delaware County market and has added over 300 units to his portfolio from this area alone,” RRA’s Managing Partner Ken Wellar said in a prepared statement.

Located at 300 N. Front St. Yeadon, the property features two-bedroom units, some of which with balconies. The apartments also offer hardwood and tiled floors. The three-story building completed in 1974 is close to the SEPTA Regional Rail to Philadelphia/Wilmington and to several bus lines. Additionally, the property is 25 minutes away from downtown Philadelphia, offering convenient access to Interstate 95.

“Delaware County is one of Philadelphia’s most active suburban markets. The strong buyer appetite for multi-family product is evidence of the strength of this submarket,” Mark Duszak, director of RRA, said in prepared remarks.

According to RRA’s Managing Partner Corey Lonberger, the disposition marks the 16th multifamily property the company sold in 2017.

He pleaded guilty to murder late last year, now the case of a maintenance worker who killed a Blinn student is back in court. The parents of 20-year-old Jenna Verhaalen are suing the Bryan apartment complex where she was killed. Verhaalen was strangled at the Autumn Woods Apartments in 2008, by 27-year-old maintenance worker Jeremiah Rosser . The suit claims Autumn Woods ignored complaints made about Rosser. Specifically, a complaint they claim Jenna made to Rosser's boss, when he entered her apartment while she was in the shower. The suit alleges the complex's negligence led to Jenna's death. Attorneys for Autumn woods said management had no reason to believe Rosser was a risk. However, that's not what the complex's corporate office told News Three in 2008. Back then, a spokesperson said Jenna complained to the maintenance supervisor about Jeremiah Rosser , but never filed a complaint with the office. Rosser quit his job at Autumn Woods several day

Charlotte affordable housing forum raises possible solutions

There’s a big demand for more affordable housing in Charlotte, where rents and home prices have shot up much faster than wages over the past few years. Many of the apartments being built now target more affluent renters, waitlists for housing vouchers are long and starter homes are snapped up almost immediately. So why aren’t developers building more affordable housing ? That was one of the main questions at a candidate education panel hosted by the Greater Charlotte Apartment Association on Friday, where about two dozen candidates for Charlotte City Council turned out to learn some of the basics on a complicated subject. “ Affordable housing is one of the topics you’ll talk about a lot,” Bryan Holladay, who supervises the group’s government affairs outreach , told the candidates. The subject is an alphabet soup of acronyms (like NOAH, or “ Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing ”) and overlapping terms and definitions. Sometimes when people say “ affordable housing ” they mean go
