Housing & Redevelopment

Northfield's homes and neighborhoods are a well-maintained blend of the historic and contemporary, with new developments still maintaining a connection to the city's architectural heritage. Diverse and affordable options are available to fulfill homeowner or renter preferences.

Mission

The mission of the Northfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) is to be a partner in providing a sufficient supply of affordable, adequate, safe, and sanitary dwellings in Northfield. 

Our goal is to create a community with housing opportunities available along the entire housing spectrum: from renters to homeownership, first-time homeowners to senior living, workforce housing, and empty-nesters. 

We strive to create affordable housing opportunities and strengthen our neighborhoods using these components:

  • Sustainability
  • Innovation
  • Partnerships
  • Community Input
