SARATOGA SPRINGS — Melissa Perkins, “Saratoga Springs born and raised,” is among the new tenants of The Reserve at Saratoga Springs, a 202-apartment complex located just west of West Avenue. She said her only wish is that the affordable-housing complex had existed sooner.

“I’m on Social Security disability, so I don’t get a lot and it’s hard trying to get something that works out with my income. Every time they build something, you think: why don’t they build some that are affordable for people?” Perkins said. “When I found this place, I put in my application. I was accepted. I was very happy.”
