The newest housing addition to Alton Park is taking longer to finish than developers first planned, but backers of the 88-unit apartment complex insist it will provide needed rental housing when it is ready for occupancy next month.
Some neighbors are not yet convinced, however.
Alton Place Apartments is a $6 million complex at 3400 Chandler Place that should be ready for occupancy by late October. Aided by federal tax credits, the project will offer two-bedroom, 891-square-foot apartments starting at $495 a month and three-bedroom 1,242-square-foot apartments for $695 a month.
