St. Joseph OKs final plat for new subdivision with 15 new homes in the works

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) — Construction of more than a dozen new single-family homes is set to move forward in St. Joseph following approval by City Councilmembers this week.

Located on South Creek Woods Drive adjacent to U.S. Route 169 and Southeast State Highway FF, the housing development project approved by City Council on Monday includes 15 lots and one detention basin.

All housing developments will be single-family units.

The subdivision is the third phase of development planned for the area. A 1,500-square-foot home at 4909 S. Creek Woods Drive with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, part of plat 2, is currently listed for $300,000.

Once constructed, the new homes will help provide a much-needed boost to St. Joseph's lagging housing scene. Data unveiled this year showed critical gaps in the availability of low, moderate and above-moderate income housing in St. Joseph.
