CPRO-Member APAH is a non-profit developer with a track record of preserving diversity and affordable housing on the Pike. Its portfolio includes recently renovated Columbia Grove Apartments (South Frederick St.) and the soon to be remodeled Buchanan Gardens complex. (South Buchanan St.). After completion of the new Arlington Mill Residences APAH will  have committed a total of more than 400 affordable units on the Pike in five years.  The rents for these units will remain affordable for households currently earning between $30,000 and $60,000. A typical time-span for these commitments is 60 years.  The new development is adjacent to the new Arlington Mill Community Center and in close vicinity to the Four Mile Run Parks.
