City Of Newark Approves 190-unit Student Housing
City oF Newark approves 190-unit student housing complex
The University of Delaware has had a lot to celebrate recently. They were ranked on the list of Top Schools Globally which may contribute in the coming years to an increase in applications. To accommodate a growing student body, the City of Newark has just approved a 190-unit complex for student housing.
A developer received approval Monday night to build a six-story, 190-unit student apartment complex that will span an entire block from Haines Street to South Chapel Street.
Continental Court and University Commons are the existing student housing complexes which will be torn down. In their place, The Continental, a six-story apartment building will run nearly the entire length of the 4.7-acre property, which is behind Calvary Baptist Church and the 7-Eleven.
The building will include a 511-space internal parking garage. The garage will be surrounded by apartment units, meaning it will not be visible from the street.
There will also be an internal courtyard to provide light and ventilation to interior apartments.
Sounds like quite the upgrade!
City reps debated the affordability of the units in the complex and whether or not it would be a beneficial project. Some argued that students would not be able to afford to live there.
Others argued that this project avoids putting another large building on Main Street and protects residential neighborhoods from becoming overrun with students.
These Are The 10 Best Places To Live In Delaware Right Now
Whether you already live in Wilmington, or some other city in Delaware and are planning a move, these are the best places to live in Delaware right now.
Delaware is no question a small state, just less than 2,500 square miles. But, with small comes charm, and Delaware has just that.
The folks over at Movoto put together a list of the best places to live in Delaware right now.
How Did They Do It?
Research on the topic was based on factual information surrounding things like education, income, and weather. Each of these locations in Delaware have over 5,000 residents and were judged on the following criteria:
- Total amenities
- Quality of life (cost of living, median home price, median rent, median household income, and student-to-teacher ratio)
- Total crimes
- Tax rates (sales tax and income tax)
- Unemployment
- Commute time
- Weather (temperature and air quality)
If we’re being honest, with Delaware being so small, there aren’t too many places that qualify for the list. According to the study, there were just 19 locations that met the criteria and were considered. You can read more about that here.
As a parent, if my family were in the market to relocate in Delaware, I would also require information on schooling, specifically, the best public schools and best private schools in Delaware. Schools typically play a large part in decision making when families are involved, along with price point, safety and amenities.
Here are the best places to live in Delaware, according to this study.
