Bonneville Commons first homes nearing completion
POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI) - NeighborWorks Pocatello is making significant progress with its Bonneville Commons subdivision at the site of the former Bonneville Elementary School.
The first few homes are nearing completion and will be ready for occupancy. Currently, a model home is open for a tour at 950 East Lander from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each Monday through Saturday.
Bonneville Commons is a brand-new development located between the 300 Block of N 8th and N 9th in Pocatello. 26 housing units are planned, which include a combination of detached single-family dwellings, twin homes, and condo units.
The homes range in size from 1,080 to 1,600 square feet. Each unit has a single car garage with a selection of two- and three-bedrooms units.
Six of the homes are designated for households making less than 80% of Bannock County Area Median Income; however, the 20 remaining homes will be sold to owner-occupants of any income level at market sales prices.
"It was important for us when putting this development together to serve prospective homeowners of all income levels with different pricing options, different layouts and different sizes in order to touch as broad of a base as possible,” said NeighborWorks Executive Director Mark Dahlquist.
NeighborWorks Pocatello purchased the site of the former Bonneville Elementary School from the Pocatello-Chubbuck School District in early 2020. The school building had stood vacant for 17 years.
Dahlquist says they expect all of the homes to be completed by the end of December.
