City of Arden Hills – 20430 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved: September 28, 201809 Amended: December 12, 2016 <br />7-13 <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 201047, there were 2835 units in the Arden Manor manufactured <br />home community and approximately 80 percent of the units were owner <br />occupied, serving approximately 840 residents. <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 Countythe 2010 Census, property information, slightly <br />more than 8694 percent of the occupied single family homes and townhomes <br />(not including manufactured homes or condominiums) were owner occupied in <br />20082010. <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 />Dr <br />a <br />f <br />t <br /> <br />11 <br />/ <br />0 <br />1 <br />/ <br />2 <br />0 <br />1 <br />7
