Habitat’s Carter Condos Filling Affordability Void in Roaring Fork Valley’s Tight Housing Market

JOHN STROUD; THE SOPRIS SUN

The high cost of housing in the Roaring Fork Valley hit home for Glenwood Springs city employee Jacob Zook as soon as he got the rent increase notice for his free-market apartment on Wulfsohn Road at The Meadows.


“I was not able to afford it, so I was pretty desperately looking for other options,” said the 26-year-old, single professional who is just starting to make a career for himself as an economic development specialist for the City.


“Even looking downvalley, it wasn’t much better, and I would have the commute,” Zook said.


But, with help from a down payment assistance program for city employees, a new affordable housing option in Glenwood made perfect sense for his situation.
