Ramsey Commissioners have purchased 12 flats from the new Forest View Apartment block in the town centre.
The development was originally completed by a private company, and it’s hoped that it will help clear the social housing waitlist.
It features solar panels on the roof, energy-efficient systems and a communal outdoor space, with a lawn and a patio for residents.
The commissioners say residents who have moved in are “positive” about their new homes and have “praised” the sense of community developing within the building.
They say the flats are a “welcome milestone” that “reinforces” the importance of providing high-quality and affordable housing within Ramsey.
