Residents Start Moving into The Willows at Berlin

Berlin, MD – March 14, 2022 – Ingerman and Milford Housing Development Corporation welcome the first tenants to The Willows at Berlin this month. The community once known as Wolfe Terrace Apartments, originally built in 1979, has been undergoing a massive renovation and expansion that will be fully completed this summer.

Acquired by Ingerman, an award-winning multifamily builder and manager specializing in high-quality affordable housing, the community was renamed The Willows at Berlin, under their affordable family housing line. The project is being co-developed by Milford Housing Development Corporation, a value-driven, nonprofit, affordable housing developer that has been active regionally since 1974. The Willows at Berlin features 65 apartment rentals consisting of 31 renovated and 34 newly built homes spread across 8 two-story buildings on a five-acre site in Berlin, Worcester County, Maryland.

The new community consists of a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom rentals with various floorplan layouts to accommodate a wide range of household sizes and budgets. All apartments have private entrances and boast a host of amenities such as modern, fully-equipped kitchens with premium appliance packages, plank flooring, walk-in closets, energy efficient appliances and finishes, and more. The community is pet friendly, has plenty of off-street parking, a playground, recreation areas, fitness center, resident lounge and offers resident service programs.

Additionally, the community will obtain National Green Building Standards certification. Maryland DHCD awarded the project the maximum amount of points for meeting its criteria for Green Features, Energy and Water Conservation and Sustainability, Project Durability and Enhancements.

The Willows at Berlin is just eight miles away from Ocean City and a short distance to many other bays and beaches along the Maryland and Delaware shorelines.
