Theresa Terrace neighborhood celebrates completion of new town homes

The City of Madison is celebrating the completion of a new set of town homes that create more affordable housing options for families on the city’s west side.

Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway joined Alder Barbara Harrington-McKinney, Department of Planning, Community and Economic Development Director and Community Development Authority (CDA) Executive Director Matt Wachter, and members of the CDA board and Theresa Terrace neighborhood in a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new homes.

We wanted to prove you could build town homes in a neighborhood like this, and that they would look good and that people would want to live in them, and that they would fit right in with the neighborhood.

Leo’s notes: By replacing aging structures with well-designed, permanently affordable homes, the City is modeling how to bring missing-middle housing into established neighborhoods with community support. This is the kind of smart, people-first investment that helps families stay connected to schools, jobs, and opportunity.
