Whitefish Housing Development to Open Workforce Rental Units in South Whitefish
The first phase of the Alpine 93/40 apartment community in South Whitefish, Montana, is nearing completion, with 12 income-restricted workforce rental units expected to become available for move-in by early to mid-November. This development, approved by the Whitefish city council in November 2023, will eventually include 210 homes across two phases, with 21 dedicated workforce rental units. The initial 12 units comprise four one-bedroom apartments projected to lease for approximately $1,330 per month and eight two-bedroom apartments at around $1,600 per month, both including utilities. These units are part of the City of Whitefish’s Legacy Homes Program, an incentive-based inclusionary zoning initiative where developers provide 10% of units for moderate-income individuals in exchange for certain incentives. Housing Whitefish will manage income screening and the waitlist, while the Whitefish Housing Authority will oversee deed restrictions and program compliance.
