City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved: September 28, 2009 <br />7-7 <br />and property maintenance. Eventually, as a person ages, there is often a need <br />for assisted living or an extended care facility. <br /> <br />Housing in Arden Hills today is primarily focused on one stage of the housing life- <br />cycle, move-up housing. Ironically, a significant number of units constructed in <br />Arden Hills during the 1970s were oriented to the first-time homebuyer market. <br />As housing prices have risen over the past three to four decades, what was once <br />priced for a first-time buyer is now classified as move-up housing due to <br />escalated prices. Arden Hills does still have a limited supply of more entry level <br />housing. In 2007, there were 285 units in the Arden Manor manufactured home <br />community and approximately 80 percent of the units were owner occupied. <br /> <br />Rental housing is another component of life-cycle housing that needs to be <br />addressed. Rental housing is an important component of the overall housing <br />supply since it provides options for both the beginning and later stages of the life- <br />cycle chain. It may also serve the needs of several segments of the population <br />including retail service employees, seniors, young adults just entering the <br />workplace and economically disadvantaged households. Based on the <br />homestead data from Ramsey County, 10 percent of the housing in Arden Hills is <br />classified as non-homesteaded, which is a rough indicator for rental housing. <br />According to Ramsey County property information, slightly more than 94 percent <br />of the occupied single family homes and townhomes (not including manufactured <br />homes or condominiums) were owner occupied in 2008. <br /> <br />Arden Hills promotes housing diversity through its long-term goals, policies, and <br />strategies. The market is also expected to exert pressure on the City for more <br />housing diversity. As was noted earlier, factors such as an aging population, a <br />population that has more non-family households, and increased numbers of <br />householders living alone is expected to drive demand for more attached, multi- <br />family housing. Multi-family units expected to be in demand are likely to be <br />oriented toward both owners and renters. <br /> <br />7.4.2 Housing Affordability <br /> <br />Affordable housing is an issue in every Twin Cities area community. With <br />housing costs outpacing many wages, it is becoming increasingly important to <br />focus on affordable housing. Because of the disparity of housing costs and <br />wages throughout the Twin Cities, affordable housing continues to be a major <br />initiative of the Metropolitan Council. <br /> <br />According to the Metropolitan Council, housing is considered affordable if it is <br />priced at or below 30 percent of the gross income of a household earning 60
