The
redevelopment of the city's Northeast Inlet
into a neighborhood of dazzling, new family-style
homes is rapidly drawing to a close. Portsmouth
Place, another Casino Reinvestment Development
Authority housing project, officially was unveiled
on Friday, May 30, during a ribbon-cutting
ceremony that featured many local dignitaries and
community leaders.
Comprised of 18 twin-style homes on approximately one acre of land from the beach and Boardwalk, Portsmouth Place is bounded by New Hampshire Avenue, Atlantic Avenue, St. Katherine Place and Grammercy Place. Each home comes complete with gas heat; central air conditioning; fully equipped kitchen with gas range, refrigerator and dishwasher; vinyl, ceramic and carpeted floors; fenced yards and lush green landscaping.
Also, six 450-square-foot
studios are located above detached two-car garages. Four of these units
have been reserved for HOPE VI families that are relocating from outdated
public housing
developments
