Peru’s Growth Continues
By John T. Ryan
Peru’s housing choices continue to expand. People took notice last week when framing began on what will be known as Davey Commons. Located on Davey Drive behind Langley Insurance the two buildings under construction will each include two 3-bedroom. 2-story, 2.5 bath center apartments measuring 1,274 sq. ft. and two one-floor, two-bedroom, 2-bath units measure 901 sq. ft. If rentals go as hoped Davey Commons will include 6 fourplex buildings housing 24 apartments.
Peru native Nathan Wilson is Davey Commons’ developer and general contractor. Wilson is very enthusiastic about the project. He said, “I bought the land from my father-in-law Harney Davey. It’s been in the family for a long time and it lends itself to a nice development. It’s nice to bring something like this to my hometown.”
Wilson envisions the two bedroom units attracting people looking to downsize while the two-story 3-bedroom units should attract families. He anticipates monthly rent ranging from $1,300 to $1,500. No two apartments will be the same.
Wilson cited several of Peru’s great qualities saying, “I think many people are looking for Peru’s conveniences and small town life. They’ll be very close to restaurants, the post office and the walking trail.”
They’ll also find insurance agencies, a credit union, supermarket, drug store, hardware stores, liquor store, laundromat, car wash, gas stations, churches, beauty shops, dentists and a new Stewart’s. Peru has a lot to offer its residents!
