Doors/Screens/Locks

The front doors on all 314 residential units will be replaced with a grade 3 heavy-duty steel doors with a sunburst. All front doors will be painted in Rave Red. These doors are a more durable product allowing higher visibility through the sunburst windows. The color of the doors will also increase design diversity and curb appeal. Locks will be replaced on both front and rear doors. The front screen doors will also be replaced with an OLNEY ½ KP heavy-duty screen door.

Siding

The vinyl siding on all 314 residential units will be replaced with hardy board and batten siding. Siding on all one story buildings will be painted in Outerspace (dark blue-gray) while siding on two-story buildings will be painted pure white. The variation in color schemes will add a sense of diversity and uniqueness to each building.

Windows

The current windows are single-hung, single-pane aluminum windows with a half screen. They will be replaced with white, single-hung, double-pane vinyl windows with a full screen. The new windows will also be energy efficient and thus will help to decrease resident's month-to-month energy consumption costs.
