Both of Northside's HOME project houses hit the market this week at a price of $189,900.

The Cincinnati Northside Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation (CNCURC) project is a result of David Brown's HOME House Project, a national design initiative aimed at providing well-designed, environmentally-friendly affordable housing.

When completed in December, these will be the first HOME houses built in the United States.

Each house offers three bedrooms, one-and-a-half baths and numerous energy-saving features.

Sales are being handled by Huff Realty.

This construction is a component of a the Fergus Street Homeownership Project, a redevelopment plan designed to boost homeownership and to stem the tide of foreclosures, vacancies and crime in the area bounded (roughly) by Pullan Avenue, Knowlton Street, Mad Anthony Street and Langland Street.
