![]() Our Mission To provide safe and livable neighborhoods in Long Beach by promoting, developing, and preserving decent, safe and affordable housing for the very low-, low- and moderate-income residents of Long Beach.
Neo Zoe at Pine Neo Zoe at Pine, developed by Hughes Development Inc., is one of Long Beach's
newest, for sale townhome developments with affordable units. The
architecturally rich Cape Code design consists of twenty-two (22) two- and
three- bedrooms units, lush landscaping, private patios, and a subterranean
garage. Neo Zoe offers an opportunity for individuals and large family first-time
homebuyers, whose incomes are between $47,000 to $70,000 per year, to purchase
homes. These buyers represent employees of our local schools, hospitals
and area businesses. The Long Beach housing Development Company (LBHDC) proudly provided
approximately $5.4 million in housing set-aside funds for the project in order
to deed restrict 17 of the total 22-units to affordable buyers for a 45-year
period. The family-friendly community provides critically needed ownership housing
for working families while offering residents direct access to the revitalized
ocean front and downtown areas of the City. Neo Zoe at Pine development is a perfect example of a successful
private-public partnership. Together we are able to address the City's
housing needs, while providing quality housing ownership opportunities to
working Long Beach families. Please contact the Neo Zoe at Pine Sales Team if you would like additional
information about the sales process. 1500 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90813 Myth #2 IN California's six largest metropolitan
areas, two-thirds of renters and over three-fourths of the households
living below the property line own no vehicles or only one car, compared
to 54 percent of all households and 44 percent of homeowner households.
With lower car ownership rates come fewer trips, and fewer single
occupant auto commutes. According to the National Personal
Transportation Survey in 1995, low-income households make 40 percent
fewer trips per household than other households. Recent traffic
growth owes much to existing development. In many high-density
neighborhoods, and in most neighborhoods with a mix of housing types, traffic
isn't a big problem. Fewer auto trips occur in higher-density areas.
In a neighborhood of 15 homes to the acre, one-third fewer auto trips occur,
compared to a standard suburban tract. A 1990 survey by the Sierra Club's
Transportation Committee found that for every doubling of neighborhood density,
vehicle miles traveled are reduced by 20 to 30 percent. Car ownership rates
are less in higher density areas. According to recent American Housing
Survey data, multifamily developments have lower car ownership rates than
single-family home tracts.
