One of Arizona’s biggest affordable apartment projects is going up in Goodyear

Dominium, which has endured opposition to building sorely needed housing in Buckeye, Chandler and Surprise over the past few years, got unanimous approval from Goodyear to put up 657 affordable apartments on 28 acres for seniors and families. The below-market rents will start at around $1,050 for a one-bedroom. Councilman Brannon Hampton refreshingly stated, “We have a lot of people and employers moving to Goodyear, and we don’t have housing every socioeconomic group can afford.” The units, which were financed with a Low-Income Housing Tax Credit and private bonds, should open in about two years.
