Rental applications are now available for Tackenash Knoll, a new neighborhood of 60 permanently affordable year-round rental homes next to the YMCA in Oak Bluffs.

The Community Builders (TCB), the nonprofit property manager for the neighborhood, will oversee tenant applications. They are hosting 2 information sessions for prospective applicants:
Thursday, October 15, 4:30 – 6:00 PM at the Oak Bluffs Public Library
Saturday, November 21, 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM at the Oak Bluffs Public Library
Both sessions will have the option to attend virtually.

For application materials, information session links, eligibility information, and the latest updates, visit TCB’s webpage tackenashknoll.com/leasinginformation.

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.

Tackenash Knoll is a new neighborhood being built by Island Housing Trust in partnership with the Town of Oak Bluffs and Affirmative Investments on town-owned land next to the YMCA. When complete, it will provide 60 permanently affordable, year-round one-, two-, and three-bedroom rental apartments for Island residents.

Designed to support a strong year-round community, the neighborhood will include a community building, outdoor gathering spaces, and easy access to the VTA bus route, bike paths, schools, and recreation. By providing permanently affordable housing, Tackenash Knoll will help sustain the diverse, year-round community that supports Martha’s Vineyard’s schools, businesses, nonprofits, and civic life.
