‘The Grove’ Will Add 11 Apartments, Four Townhouses to Village
By DEBRA MOFFITTCOOPERSTOWN
Cooperstown, a village celebrated for its historic charm, doesn’t see a lot of newly constructed homes. But “The Grove,” a $5+ million project underway at the corner of Glen Avenue and Grove Street, will soon add 11 one-bedroom and studio apartments along with four townhomes.
The apartment units in the Railroad Avenue business district are expected to be completed by July or August and available to rent as of September 1, said Josh Edmonds, a partner in ZAED Properties, which is developing the housing project. Simple Integrity, Edmonds’ construction company, is building the apartment complex and townhomes.
The four townhomes will be sold, not rented, to attract older buyers ready to give up their large houses but who still want to own property and hold on to their equity. The 11 long-term rental apartments are designed to attract younger people looking for something small, updated and walking distance to village amenities.
“There’s a phenomenal, phenomenal demand for this,” said Cooperstown Mayor Ellen Tillapaugh.
