Affordable Homes & Rentals

AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPPORTUNITY:
TACKENASH KNOLL

Construction is well underway at Tackenash Knoll, a new neighborhood of 60 permanently affordable year-round rental homes next to the YMCA in Oak Bluffs. Leasing is expected to begin in early fall 2026, with the first residents anticipated to move in during spring 2027.

The Community Builders (TCB), the nonprofit property manager for the neighborhood, will oversee tenant applications. Click here to visit TCB’s webpage and join their interest list.

Homes will be available to households earning between 30% and 120% of Area Median Income, creating affordable opportunities for a wide range of year-round Island residents. For example, eligible incomes range from approximately $34,000 for a one-person household to $211,000 for a five-person household, depending on household size and apartment type.
