We’re not just building homes. Porchlight is helping reestablish the fabric of the Oakleigh and Texas Hill neighborhood. Found between Washington Square Park and Crawford Park, Oakleigh was once a prominent middle-class African American residential area. Street corners held neighborhood grocery stores and local retail. Yet, in recent decades, it hasn’t received the economic investment necessary to sustain its growth. Porchlight is leading that investment. We’re working with the community and city to help bring back retail, community spaces, and more homes to the neighborhood. In moving into a Porchlight home, you’re becoming a part of a diverse community and a city magnet for cultural and economic expansion.
