Ridgecrest Terrace Apartments

Built in 1969, Ridgecrest Terrace is a Project-Based Section 8 Family property consisting of 19, two story buildings with one, two and three-bedroom apartment homes on 16.27 acres and 250 units. The exterior breezeways provide residents with exterior entrances to each apartment. The property currently features a community room and laundry rooms.

Renovated apartment units will receive updated kitchens with all new appliances, cabinets and countertops; bathrooms with new vanities, toilets and tub surrounds; new wood plank flooring; new interior doors and windows; new fixtures; new plumbing and electrical repairs.
