A large Seabrook apartment complex has more than just a fresh coat of paint after a $13 million renovation. 

The Rockingham Village Apartments, formerly known as the Cimarron Apartments, are located just off Interstate 95 on Batchelder Road in Seabrook and are owned by Chartwell Holdings. The complex includes deed-restricted affordable housing. 

North Branch Construction renovated six occupied, 4-story residential buildings totaling 388 units, along with a stand-alone, 2,400-square-foot community building.  

Renovations to the apartments included improvements to kitchens and bathrooms, replacement of mansard roofs and trim, replacement of all windows and exterior doors, new fire alarms throughout, replacement of five 10,000-gallon oil-fired furnaces with gas-fired furnaces, refurbishment of elevators and the addition of a new asphalt driveway to increase visitor parking spaces. The main entry of the complex received hardscape and landscape improvements.  

All apartments remained occupied throughout construction. 

Burnell Johnson Architects of Manchester provided architectural design for the project, which was completed on time and on budget. The project was funded through Low Income Housing Tax Credits administered through the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority.
