Mixed-Income and Affordability Commitment

As part of its agreement with the Cook County HRA, nearly half of Gunflint Vue’s units are reserved for income-qualified tenants under 60% and 80% of Area Median Income (AMI). This ensures that housing at Gunflint Vue remains accessible to a diverse mix of residents, including those seeking lower-cost housing options.

For example, one-bedroom units at 80% AMI start at around $1,455 per month (before utilities), with two-bedroom units available at market rate when not reserved for income-qualified households.
