Centennial gardens east - west is a Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) apartment community in Roseville, Minnesota. LIHTC properties — also called Section 42 housing or tax credit apartments — are income-restricted rentals developed with federal tax credits administered by state Housing Finance Agencies (HFAs). Qualifying residents pay rent based on a percentage of the Area Median Income (AMI) for Roseville. Based on 2024 data, the local AMI for the 55113 zip code is $90,372 for a single person and $129,104 for a 4-person household. These figures make Roseville tax credit apartments among the most affordable rentals available without a Section 8 voucher.
To qualify, your total household income must fall at or below the income limit set for this property — currently 60% AMGI of AMI. That works out to approximately $77,462/yr for a 4-person household in the 55113 area. Unlike public housing, LIHTC income-restricted apartments are privately managed and require you to apply directly to the property. Rent is fixed at a discounted rate tied to AMI — not to your specific income — so your monthly payment stays predictable.
By law, LIHTC properties must remain rent-restricted for a minimum of 30 years. Centennial gardens east - west was placed in service around 2010, keeping rents income-restricted at least through ~2010.
