The city says one acre builds close to three to four homes. With those figures, the new land could hold close to 800 homes.
KEPR spoke to real estate agents, who said cities are making moves like these to try and attract builders.
“I represent four different builders, and we're looking for other opportunities, where's the next place to go, and there's not a lot of places,” said Realtor Laura Harris. “But Southridge is definitely one of them.”
No one has bid on the land yet, but the city expects interest to rise in the spring.
