Timbers at Hickory Tree

Timbers at Hickory Tree is a 216-unit affordable multifamily community made up of seven thoughtfully designed residential buildings. The development offers a range of amenities, including a fully furnished clubhouse with a clubroom, leasing offices, a supportive services activity room, yoga and fitness spaces, and an indoor playroom for children.

The site features generous green space and a variety of outdoor amenities, such as picnic pavilions, a swimming pool with a pavilion, grilling stations, a playground, a gazebo, surface parking, individual unit garages, and direct access to the scenic walking trails of Luedeke Park. Reflecting strong demand and community appeal, all apartments were 100% leased—with a waiting list—before construction was even completed.
