AHV Communities is expanding its build-to-rent community operations into the Seattle metropolitan market with Duvall Village, currently under construction in the northeastern Seattle suburb of Duvall.
The community was designed by locally based Milbrandt Architects and features 99 three-story townhomes in both cottage and farmhouse styles. Renters can choose from two- to four-bedroom plans with 2.5 to 3.5 baths, two-car garages, and private fenced rear yards. Interior finishes include quartz countertops, walk-in closets, energy-efficient appliances, LED recessed lighting, and assorted smart features such as smart door locks and Wi-Fi thermostats.
“Duvall Village marks AHV Communities’ expansion into the Pacific Northwest, a region like so many others across the country with a pressing need for quality rental housing,” says Mark Wolf, founder and CEO of AHV Communities. “This new community will deliver luxury units for the burgeoning regional population, a substantial portion of which are employed by the numerous blue-chip companies headquartered nearby. … Not only is modern technology featured throughout, but the floor plans provide flex spaces for working and studying from home and easily accommodate multigenerational family living arrangements.”
On-site amenities include outdoor fitness equipment and a tot lot, as well as direct access to the Snoqualmie Valley Trail and the Snoqualmie River. At 10 miles northeast of Redmond and 18 miles northeast of Bellevue, Duvall Village is located near many of the Seattle MSA’s major employers, including Microsoft, Samsung, Boeing, and Amazon.
Thrive Communities will provide on-site management and leasing for Duvall Village. Monthly rents are expected to start at $3,000.
“2021 is a pivotal year for AHV Communities,” Wolf says. “After introducing the master-planned rental community model many years ago, we have officially hit our stride and are expanding into numerous U.S. markets in an effort to address today’s housing demand. This is truly an exciting time for us as we watch our vision come to fruition and the market responding in a positive way to our world-class communities.”
