Homeowner Stories
Meet Derrick & Maelyn
Leahy’s Lane Phase II
Derrick and his daughter Maelyn are one of many families in the area struggling with the high rising costs of rent and are currently living in a two-bedroom apartment that is not very well insulated, making their heating costs very expensive each winter.
Meet Dharmik & Shali
Leahy’s Lane Phase II
Dharmik and Shaili have always wanted to have their own space, but with the rising interest rates and housing market prices being at an all-time high, finding a decent and affordable home to purchase in the Peterborough area was challenging.
Meet Ariel & Hugo
Leahy’s Lane Phase II
Ariel and her son Hugo live in an old and beautiful downtown building that is now in a poor deteriorating condition. Like many families in the City of Peterborough, the rising rental costs and increasingly high-interest rates for housing made the opportunity of finding an alternative affordable home to rent or buy feel far out of reach.
