May 16, 2025

The City of Tallahassee, Leon County Government, Elmington Capital, and community partners will host a ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating the opening of Ridge Road Flats, a new 250-unit affordable housing apartment community, on Wednesday, May 21, at 1 p.m. at 795 Ridge Road. The event will include a program with local officials and tours of the new facility.

Ridge Road Flats was made possible with approximately $80 million in support from the City of Tallahassee, Leon County Government, Elmington Capital, Tallahassee Housing Authority, the Housing Finance Authority of Leon County, U.S. Bancorp Community Development Corporation, Florida Housing Finance Corporation, and R4 Capital Funding.

Designed to serve households earning no more than 70% of the area median income, the Ridge Road Flats development is rent-restricted to ensure long-term affordability. Apartments feature granite countertops, balconies and patios, in-unit washers and dryers, on-site maintenance and management, fitness center, swimming pool, community garden, and an array of resident programming, including regular pop-up events hosted by healthcare providers and financial counseling workshops.
