EVOLVING HOUSING FOR A GROWING COMMUNITY Saginaw Township is adapting to housing demands with strategic shifts toward higher-density options. “We were for a while opposed to getting in new rental housing,” admits Rombalski,“but we’re seeing a shift to higher density residential allowances.” The township now welcomes townhomes and condominiums catering to millennials and empty nesters downsizing from larger homes. The market reflects changing preferences, with modern townhomes commanding over $1,000 monthly rents, which Rombalski notes that “in our area that’s quite a bit of money.” This variety, combining renovated properties with new construction, addresses affordability while maintaining quality. “It’s good that we’re staying a little bit ahead of the curve with this to have the allowances for those types of homes,” Rombalski adds. Geographic advantages further stimulate demand. 5 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 07 SAGINAW TOWNSHIP, MI
