The Patuxent Cove community won Maryland tax credits to draw private investment into Lexington Park to address a shortage of affordable housing in St. Mary’s County. The award, based on the demand for more affordable and workforce housing in the region, also indicated a specific need to address veteran homelessness. And also accessibility. Patuxent Cove is handicap accessible.

The mixed-income community features one-, two-, and three-bedroom, fully accessible apartments. There is a veterans preference for the complex. In conjunction with resident services provided by St. Mary’s Community Development Corporation, Three Oaks Center also will work with Patuxent Cove residents regarding specialized benefits related to the Veterans Administration.

All of these apartments are brand new. They have fully equipped kitchens with Energy Star-rated appliances and fixtures, a dishwasher, a washer and dryer hookup, central air conditioning, and 24-hour maintenance. This is a smoke-free community with beautifully landscaped grounds, and a porch or balcony with each apartment. Handicap accessible. Small pets are welcome.

Persons interested in this housing opportunity are encouraged to go to the Patuxent Cove website to learn more.

Along with the state of Maryland’s tax credit program, the St. Mary’s County commissioners helped leverage private investment for the $22 million apartment complex. The county delayed collection of the increase of the property’s value during its early years. The tax adjustments save sufficient costs to make the developments more attractive to private investors. The ultimate increase in the value of the property both rewards the investor and an increasing property tax return for the governments as well.
