New affordable housing coming to Delray Beach

Neighborhood being constructed by Pulte Group

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. — More and more families locally are feeling priced out of paradise. However, a project in Delray Beach is helping address part of the need for affordable housing options.

It’s called Carver Square and it features 20 single-family homes along Southwest Third Street and Southwest Seventh Avenue.

The city started the project in 2005 by purchasing the lots and in a few months, some families will have a new place to call their own.

“I just learned this morning that this is my house right here,” said Rose Newboldbiffo, a future homeowner.

Newboldbiffo will be one of the first to move in once complete.

“I’m like ecstatic to be a homeowner in the city that I grew up in,” she added.
