Compared to other nearby cities, I think designs like this will have a greater presence in Ithaca, where there tends to be an appreciation of the eclectic. But these designs will still be in the minority. For kicks, I decided to prowl Craigslist for an idea of some other new, local rental construction.
New units, Kendall Avenue
New units, Coddington Road
New duplex, Wiedmaier Court
Duplex built last year, Lincoln Street
For the record, the first two were previously undeveloped lots in built-up areas on the city-town line near IC. The third is in a small development in the town just southeast of the city-town line, and the fourth a redevelopment in the Fall Creek neighborhood.
