Located next to 48th Ave W, Monterra is a 53-unit townhome condo complex completed in 2011/2012, with each unit having 2 or 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a 2-car tandem garage (1 car wide & 2 cars long). Included is a small private park with a rain garden for cleaning and holding runoff, and two gazebos. The townhomes’ website says that every unit has been sold.

More townhomes in 21420.

The small private park is located in a rain garden, and includes two gazebos, a birdhouse, trees, shrubs, and a footbridge.

Shrubs are planted along the driveways, and there are designated pedestrian pathways.

The “back” facades of the buildings are functional with no extra stuff, which is perfectly fine.

Townhome Project Under Construction on 48th Ave W – MLTnews

Terrace Heights Apartments
4713 216th St SW

The project includes adding a 4-story 16-unit apartment building with parking to an existing 18-building 144-unit apartment complex built in 1990. The building replaced what the city described as a “caretaker” home. The address of the building under construction is not known, but is in the 21500 block of 48th Ave W. The address used here is the address used by the city for the project.

The new building construction is being managed by Blue Water Design Build LLC.

The new building is visible from 48th Ave W.

The new building has a different design than the other buildings in the apartment complex, and has an additional floor.

The other photos below show the rest of the apartment complex:

This project includes a 63-unit residential building with under-structure parking. The preexisting buildings have been demolished, and the .94 acre site is currently an empty lot. The project appears to be in planning or on hold.
