City officials, neighborhood officers and business leaders were in Ensley’s Belview Heights neighborhood Thursday to break ground the start of a $25 million development deal to build affordable homes in a historic neighborhood.
Oak Hill, a new housing development located near 51st Street Ensley and Avenue K, will feature 28 detached, single-family homes ranging from 1,200 to 1,350 square feet. First closings on the homes are expected to occur in late 2021.
“We want to bring our neighborhood back up to what it should be,” said Johnny Gunn, president of Belview Heights Neighborhood Association. “One of the things that will do that is put new rooftops within the neighborhoods and the communities.

Come in and be a part of the neighborhood.” ....
