The small, cabin-like homes with studio, one-bedroom or two-bedroom floor plans are 840 sq. ft. The project was recognized for its Green Building atributes by the Housing Assistance / Home Depot Green Building Fund. Initial mortgages ranged from $125,000 to $140,000, and initial monthly payments from $500 to $900.
[This home] is a blessing beyond my wildest imagination. It means I don't have to wonder if my landlord will decide to sell.... if a realtor will walk through with a prospective purchaser. I am able to set my sewing machine up on my dining room table and not put it away until I'm done--if I want to. I get to decide." |

Lahari Ridge is OPAL’s first neighborhood in the village of Deer Harbor. It was initiated by a generous offer from Lahari Hospice and Respite Care, which sold lots to OPAL at below market rates. ("Lahari" means "atomsphere of bliss" in the Hindi language.)
