Hubbell Realty Company has made great headway on a new rental home community, named Centennial Crossing, in Waukee. The 17-acre neighborhood, which is directly south of the popular 33-acre Centennial Park and across the street from the Waukee High School, will have around 110 homes when completed. These attached single-family homes will be a mix of ranch and two-story floorplans with two- and three-bedrooms and attached 2-car garages. Square footage will range from 1,300 up to 1,750 depending on the style of home.
“After researching the market, we found a high need for rental homes, not only in this area, but in the housing market in general,” said Kris Saddoris, Vice President of Multifamily Development at Hubbell. “With the speed that Waukee is growing, these homes will be spacious enough for a growing family, but easy enough to maintain for someone looking to downsize and get rid of home maintenance.”
Centennial Crossing will have an on-site clubhouse and pool available to residents. The community will incorporate the natural surroundings, including prairie grasses, a trail way and a natural swale that runs diagonally through the neighborhood and into adjacent Glynn Village, a Hubbell conservation community. Hubbell, alongside Waukee city officials, hope the community trail will eventually connect to Centennial Park via a tunnel under University Avenue.
The homes will have an average monthly rent between $1,700-1,900. Construction began in early 2020 with onsite utilities and paving work and the community is expected to be partially completed in 2021 with the remainder finishing in 2022.
