Pittsfield's Allendale Pines North Opening 6 Affordable Homes in April
PITTSFIELD, Mass. —Teton Management plans to cut the ribbon on Allendale Pines North in the early spring.
The first six of 22 affordable manufactured homes at 395 Cheshire Road will soon be finished, with listing prices between $189,900 and $204,900, plus a $550 a month lot rent.
All homes have three bedrooms and two bathrooms in more than 1,200 square feet; the property is set back and borders the Ashuwillticook Trail.
"We focus on what that monthly lot rent is, which is $550 a month, and then our customers typically will look to seek financing," Director of Sales Val Whaling said.
"We know that those monthly numbers come in less than renting a three-bed, two-bath apartment in the Berkshires."
The double-wide homes come in three models with rooms and porches in different arrangements: the "Monroe" half-porch model for $189,900, the "Monroe" full-porch model for $194,900, and the "Aspire" models on south-end lots for $204,900. They are heated by propane and forced hot air.
Whaling said Teton Management tries to partner locally with vendors, and wants to do the same with financing institutions.
"Like everything else we're doing here, it's not a test because we're pros at it," she added. "But the lenders, for sure, are something we're focused on. We know our buyers will need financing."
This is an even further expansion of Allendale Pines, as new manufactured homes were added to 245 Cheshire Road a few years ago. The 22 new homes at Allendale Pines North will have their own access.
Community Manager Chris Vecchia said Teton Management hopes to show the homes in early spring. Electricity is still being brought in, and the property management company must first secure a Certificate of Occupancy from the city.
Some finishing work will still need to be done, such as roads, sidewalks, and landscaping. Workers broke ground on the site with tree work in April 2025.
"The kitchens are very modern. It's a very slick look. The bathrooms are amazing, stand-up showers, all glass doors, open-concept kitchen, really nice stainless steel appliances," Whaling said.
"So it's a modern feel for sure."
Vecchia said the main difference between the two porch models is that residents will have a slightly larger living room with a full front porch, as the half porch uses some of that space. The two Aspire models at the end of the street are considered somewhat premium lots because of yard size and fewer abutters.
"This land was here, and it was part of Allendale Pines South already, so I think there was always the idea of doing something with it, and it just took some time to figure that out," he said.
"And then we started seeing the new styles and homes that are coming out that were really so unique and sharp looking."
More information about the homes will be on Teton Management’s website.
