North Creek Crossings at Meriam Park is a two-phase affordable housing community located within Chico's growing Meriam Park development. The project delivered 160 family apartment homes across fourteen three-story residential buildings, along with community and maintenance facilities designed to support long-term resident needs.
Phase 1 included 106 family units across seven residential buildings, a community building, and a maintenance building, completed in Fall 2022. Phase 2 added 54 family units across seven additional residential buildings and a maintenance building, completed in Late 2023. The phased construction approach required careful coordination to successfully deliver multiple occupied and active construction areas within a rapidly developing master-planned community.
Situated near shopping, dining, recreation, and the extensive trail network of Meriam Park, North Creek Crossings expands access to quality affordable housing while contributing to the continued growth of one of Chico's premier mixed-use neighborhoods.
