New England Heritage Homes

New England Heritage Homes (NEHH) is a proposed affordable homeownership project of 16 mixed-income fee-simple units on an existing assembly of seven parcels of land totaling approximately 40,000 square feet. The parcels are located near the intersection of New England Avenue, Mallard Avenue, Colonial Avenue, and Southern Avenue in the Talbot Norfolk Triangle neighborhood of Codman Square in Dorchester, and are within 1/4 mile of the new Talbot Ave Station on the Fairmount Line. The project spans seven existing parcels, including two City-owned vacant lots and is located within Dorchester’s Eco-Innovation District (EID). The proposed development will provide an opportunity to achieve transit access and walkability, while creating new affordable opportunities for moderate income homebuyers in Codman Square Neighborhood Development Corporation's (CSNDC) service area. The project, developed by Codman Community Development, Inc. (a subsidiary of CSNDC), is a part of a larger effort of the Fairmount Indigo CDC Collaborative, in which CSNDC, Dorchester Bay EDC (DBEDC), and Southwest Boston CDC (SWBCDC) have targeted development opportunities near existing and planned stops on the MBTA Fairmount commuter rail line.
