Village Grove Apartments:
A Crescent Way Subdivision

Village Grove Apartments, part of the Crescent Way subdivision, is the development of a residential mixed-use, mixed-income project on a nineteen-acre parcel of land located at 46 South Street in the Village of Trumansburg, New York, within walking distance to schools, shopping, and a thriving downtown community.

Project details

Construction of the development’s 46 rental units was completed in December 2024, along with the new facility for the Trumansburg Community Nursery School. The rental portion includes 40 apartments in a two-story elevator building and two townhome buildings with three units in each. The apartment building includes a community lounge, laundry facilities for use by residents, and management and maintenance offices.

Construction of the Crescent Way subdivision, ten affordable for-sale homes that will be part of INHS’s Community Housing Trust, was complete in Fall 2025. There are also nine lots for market-rate construction that are available for purchase from Sundial Development LLC.

Market Rate Lots

Who will live there?

These lots will be sold to anyone that wants to build a home there.

Who will own the lots?

Whoever buys the lots will own them. Claudia Brenner will have no stake in them after the lots are sold. Until they are sold they are owned by Sundial Properties, a company set up by Claudia Brenner.

Who will maintain them?

Whoever buys the lots will maintain the lots and the homes built there. Until the lots are sold they are maintained by Sundial Properties, a company set up by Claudia Brenner.

What kind and how many houses are included in the project?

At the moment we envision:

Market rate lots – 9 lots that could have about 17 units.
Affordable for sale homes – 10 homes as duplexes or townhouses.
Affordable rentals – 46 apartments as townhouses and a two story elevator building.

How many people will live there?

That depends on how large a home they build. The site concept shows the maximum number of units that a parcel could legally contain but it is expected that most lots will not have the maximum number.
