Recent residential development

In 2012, construction began on a new University Edge apartment complex in Roseland, expected to open in August 2013. Phase one of the high-end apartment complex will have 144 units — housing for 420 residents — and is being marketed primarily to students at the University of Notre Dame, Saint Mary’s College and other local campuses. The land was cleared and building framing started for the apartment complex, which is along Indiana 933 south of Pendle Road.[7]

Construction of phase two of University Edge, near the east edge of the property, is expected to begin in spring 2014 and be complete by August 2014. If fully occupied, the completed complex will house 560 residents.

A walking/biking path will be constructed between University Edge and nearby University Village, Notre Dame’s married student housing complex. The shuttle bus that runs between the Notre Dame and Saint Mary’s campuses stops regularly at University Village. In 2012, the university proposed a plan that would close existing Douglas Road through campus and create a new four-lane east-west roadway in the fields at the north end of campus. Notre Dame would pay the full cost of the project. If the road-move proposal is approved by St. Joseph County, the new road will include adjacent paved bike/walking paths. A paved path leading to University Edge is included in the plan.

The number of Roseland residents is expected to rise by as much as 67 percent by August 2013.
