The City of Buckeye, about 30 minutes west of Phoenix, admits they are low on housing stock. The town’s planning and zoning commission recently gave the go-ahead to 1,400 new rental units across three projects.

AZBEX reports that Hancock Communities hopes to put 847-units on 77 acres. It will include build-to-rent units, duplexes, quadplexes and townhomes.

Continental Properties received a rezoning on approximately 16.4 gross acres at the NWC of Jackrabbit Trail and Thomas Road from rural residential to multifamily for a planned 141-unit “bungalow rental community” to be known as Avanterra Buckeye. The development calls for 98 detached and 43 attached units.

The last project before the Commission was a site plan approval request by Holualoa Companies for its planned 444-unit LANAI Living Build-to-Rent development on 27.5 acres at the NWC of Apache Road and Monroe Street. Located within walking distance of downtown Buckeye, the planned development features a mix of “quadplex” and “eightplex” units.
