Laurel Grove Acres I, a multi-family rental housing development, consists of thirty-seven, 1-4 bedroom apartments. Laurel Grove Acres I, a subsidized complex is located in Caroline County in Federalsburg, MD. In 2000, the development of Laurel Grove Acres II & III began. Both developed for low & moderate income families. These complexes consist of 2 & 3 bedroom apartments. Additionally, PBH constructed 20 units on Holland Drive, which was built with the intention of families transitioning from low-income apartments to single family homeowners. PBH will use its mission to stabilize and revitalize neighborhoods by promoting and building community pride and improving the overall quality of life in our neighborhoods.
