Family Housing

Chxi Musam Illihi – Phase I – Tilixam Circle

This development was the first of four phases of a planned rental community for Tribal members of all income levels.  These first 36 units were completed in the summer of 2003 and are targeted to low-income families.  The apartments are designed around various landscaped garden-like common areas including a central pavilion area. The project consists of six "pods" of six units each, with a separate, semi-private sitting area located near each pod. All of the apartments are in full compliance with disabled accessibility regulations. The units are spacious, sized from 729 square feet for the one bedroom plan, all the way up to 1,873 square feet for the five bedroom plan. The homes are either stand alone or are duplex style in design. All units have appliances including washer and dryers, fenced private yards and assigned carports complete with an exterior storage. The outdoor area surrounding the homes boasts stunning views of Spirit Mountain, with interconnecting interior paths, and an additional pedestrian walkway surrounding the community. Common area exterior maintenance is provided by the Housing Authority.
