Located in the Fairywood neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Cedarwood Homes is a new, 4.67 acre affordable housing community for seniors 62 and older. The residential site consists of a series of “quad” and “duplex” residences, totaling 46 one-bedrooms units. The site layout is designed to support and encourage social activity, while providing seniors with a style of independent living consistent with the greater Fairywood community.  The front porch design, in conjunction with the central green spaces and pedestrian-oriented site planning, promotes both social and physical well-being of residents. Across the street on Broadhead Fording Road, a Community Building serves the residential community with a fitness room, social services office, kitchen, and multi-purpose community room with an adjoining outdoor patio.
