NOT JUST AFFORDABLE. BEAUTIFUL.
4 HOMES THAT PUT HOMEOWNERSHIP WITHIN REACH

Looking for an Affordable Path to Homeownership?

If your household earns 80% or less of the area median income, a CBCLT (City of Bridges Community Land Trust) home could be the perfect fit. These homes are designed to make ownership more accessible by separating the cost of the home from the cost of the land—making your monthly payments more manageable.

CBCLT homes aren’t just about getting in the door—they’re about long-term stability, affordability, and building equity, all while staying connected to your community. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or just looking for a smart, affordable option, this program could help you reach your homeownership goals. Even if you are shopping in a lower price range, don’t pass these by. Potential subsidies could make owning a home more achievable than you think.

Take a look at some of the beautiful CBCLT homes below.
