City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved:, 2018 <br />7-8 <br />back to a smaller home with fewer maintenance needs or to one of the growing number <br />of either single-family or multi-family housing options that has an association that take <br />care of home and property maintenance. Eventually, as a person ages, there is often a <br />need for assisted living or an extended care facility. <br />Housing in Arden Hills today is primarily focused on one stage of the housing life-cycle, <br />move-up housing. Ironically, a significant number of units constructed in Arden Hills <br />during the 1970s were oriented to the first-time homebuyer market. As housing prices <br />have risen over the past three to four decades, what was once priced for a first-time <br />buyer is now classified as move-up housing due to escalated prices. Arden Hills does <br />still have a limited supply of more entry level housing. In 2014, there were 283 units in <br />the Arden Manor manufactured home community, serving approximately 840 residents. <br />Rental housing is another component of life-cycle housing that needs to be addressed. <br />Rental housing is an important component of the overall housing supply since it <br />provides options for both the beginning and later stages of the life-cycle chain. It may <br />also serve the needs of several segments of the population including retail service <br />employees, seniors, young adults just entering the workplace and economically <br />disadvantaged households. Based on the homestead data from Ramsey County, 10 <br />percent of the housing in Arden Hills is classified as non-homesteaded, which is a rough <br />indicator for rental housing. According to the 2010 Census, slightly more than 86 <br />percent of the occupied single family homes and townhomes (not including <br />manufactured homes or condominiums) were owner occupied in 2010. <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 housing <br />diversity. As was noted earlier, factors such as an aging population, a population that <br />has more non-family households, and increased numbers of householders living alone <br />is expected to drive demand for more attached, multi-family housing. Multi-family units <br />expected to be in demand are likely to be oriented toward both owners and renters. <br />7.5 Housing Affordability <br />Affordable housing is an issue in every Twin Cities area community. With housing costs <br />outpacing many wages, it is becoming increasingly important to focus on affordable <br />housing. Because of the disparity of housing costs and wages throughout the Twin <br />Cities, affordable housing continues to be a major initiative of the Metropolitan Council. Draft 04/04/2018
