Kennedy Place, located in Houston’s historic Fifth Ward, was redeveloped with $7.8 million in federal stimulus funds and other funds. Originally occupied in 1982, the former 60-unit development was demolished in December 2009 and was reconstructed in January 2011.
The revitalized Kennedy Place has 108 units, including 20 one-bedroom, 58 two-bedroom, 26 three-bedroom, and 4 four-bedroom units. The new development features an amphitheater, walking path, playground, and barbecue grills.
