Cypress Gardens: Progress Update & Application Process
Cypress Gardens - a CVAHS affordable housing development providing 52 new homes for low-to-moderate income seniors (aged 60+) and people with disabilities (aged 55+), is finally nearing completion! The three story apartment building is located in the heart of Comox, BC, and features all brand new one-bedroom, one-bathroom suites.
Apartments at Cypress Gardens are approx. 520 Sq. Ft. each and example floor plans are available here. All units have individual heat pumps, electric baseboard heating, and sub-metered hydro.
Twelve of the 52-units are fully accessible for wheelchair users and handicapped residents. Throughout the Cypress Gardens design/build process, we have been working with a company called Step by Step Accessibility Consulting to ensure the building is completed with inclusion/equity in mind for all types of people.
The building features a large community room, on-site office, and a laundry facility on each floor.
Reserved parking is not provided at Cypress Gardens; however, the site is within walking distance of downtown Comox, and built across from a major bus stop - making this location ideal for those who have decided to go car free! As well, designated, under-cover parking, with plug-ins, will be available for people who require mobility scooters (please note: availability is limited, and an monthly additional charge may apply).
If all goes well, and there are no further construction delays (supply chain issues, etc.) - we are set to begin moving tenant’s into their new homes as soon as July/August 2023.
Applications for Cypress Gardens are taken through the BC Housing Registry (Building Code: DQT).
General applicant guidelines for CVAHS properties can be found here.
Rent at Cypress Gardens is set at 3 levels, with further information & qualifications here.
