Mountain Housing Opportunities is nearing completion of Lakeshore Villas, an affordable community of 120 apartments located in Arden, North Carolina, offering one-, two-, and three-bedroom units for renters earning up to 60% of the area’s median income. The community is situated at 305 Heywood Shores Drive in Arden, just off Hendersonville Road and within three miles of I-26. Two local bus stops less than a quarter mile away provide easy access to destinations throughout Buncombe County and the greater metro area.
Tentatively slated to open in May 2026, Lakeshore Villas is now leasing all available units. All of MHO’s affordable properties are proudly managed by Partnership Property Management (PPM).

Located close to the Hendersonville Road primary commercial and commuting corridor, Lakeshore Villas features a range of outdoor amenities designed for community engagement, including a grilling area, playground, and covered gathering spaces. The interior features a large fitness center, multiple resident activity rooms and a package room. Residents will also enjoy direct views of Lake Julian, a mature forest buffer along the back of the property, and enhanced wetlands that will serve as a natural amenity.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be hosted later in 2026. More details will be shared soon, including how to RSVP. Please contact Allison Rollison at allison@mtnhousing.org if you would like to be added to the ribbon-cutting interest list.
