ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) — Construction of more than a dozen new single-family homes is set to move forward in St. Joseph following approval by City Councilmembers this week. A 1,500-square-foot home at 4909 S. Creek Woods Drive with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, part of plat 2, is currently listed for $300,000. Once constructed, the new homes will help provide a much-needed boost to St. Joseph's lagging housing scene. Data unveiled this year showed critical gaps in the availability of low, moderate and above-moderate income housing in St. Joseph.
