“Juniper Grove is a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation in tackling societal challenges.”
— Jamie General, President, JAG Interiors, Inc.

Located at the southeast corner of Avenue R and Division Street, the 123,410-square-foot apartment complex offers 99 affordable units for residents who meet income requirements and two units set aside for property and maintenance managers. All 49 one-bedroom units are reserved for individuals who have previously experienced homelessness, or are facing mental health challenges. The remaining 24 two-bedroom and 25 three-bedroom units will be allocated for low-income families and individuals. Every unit features a private patio or balcony and a property management office is available on site.

More than just a place to live, Juniper Grove is a catalyst for empowerment and opportunity. Through partnerships with local organizations and initiatives, residents will have access to a variety of support services, including job training, educational programs, and healthcare resources. By addressing the holistic needs of its residents, the developers aim to break the cycle of poverty and create pathways to a brighter future.
“With a diverse array of living spaces, we’re not just building homes; we’re fostering belonging and opportunity.”

One of the defining features of Juniper Grove is its commitment to creating a vibrant community atmosphere. From the meticulously landscaped grounds to the communal spaces — thoughtfully designed by the JAG team — every aspect of the complex is geared towards promoting social interaction and neighborly bonds. Residents enjoy a range of amenities where they can forge friendships and build lasting memories, including a community center, fitness room, barbecues, a children’s playground and an enclosed dog park.
