Fueled by the high cost of buying a home and the lifestyle choice of maintenance-free living, local rental properties are in high demand.That has spurred the development of communities of single-family homes just for renters and luxury apartments, keeping rental prices high.But now several projects are underway in the Tucson area to bring more inventory and options to the working class.Both public and private developments are adding to the inventory of housing for low-income residents and for those who don’t qualify for affordable housing programs yet can’t afford luxury rentals.Projects include conversions of old motels and bars into affordable apartments and new ground-up complexes in areas with many blue-collar workers.The city of Tucson bought and is remodeling the old Amazon Motel at 1135 W. Miracle Mile for shelter before beginning construction to convert the hotel rooms into studio apartments for low-income renters.
