CASA GRANDE — The market has prompted a shift to more multifamily housing in the Casa Grande area over the past year, rather than the historical single-family type, to meet the demand for a wider breadth of housing options. Affordability, though, remains a complex issue.
Historically, single-family housing made up the majority of permits issued in Casa Grande. According to American Community Survey data, single-family permits made up 68% of permits until 2021. Multifamily and manufactured park model homes made up 16% each. In 2023, multifamily housing made up the majority of permits issued by the city at 36%. Single-family made up 34%, build-to-rent housing made up 26% and manufactured homes made up 4%.
