Crow Wood Gardens, located on Crow Wood Lane in Widnes, is designed for adults with disabilities or health conditions.
The development consists of 10 one-bedroom apartments and three two-bedroom bungalows, each built to support independent living with on-site care services arranged by Halton Borough Council.
Phil Harris, Halton Borough Council’s portfolio holder for housing strategy, said: "Evidence shows we need to expand the specialist housing offer in Widnes and Runcorn to meet the needs of adults with learning disabilities and other groups, providing choice and dignity for people to live independently as they age.
"This development at Crow Wood Lane, and its brilliant location with proximity to local related services, is just what we need to see more of in the future."
The site visit was attended by representatives from Halton Housing, Halton Borough Council, contractor AKM Homes, and supporting consultants.
Crow Wood Gardens will include 13 parking spaces, covered carports for the bungalows, electric vehicle charging, cycle storage, and a dedicated motorcycle space.
The scheme is Halton Housing’s second gas-free development, using heat pumps for sustainable energy, following Mercia Place in Runcorn.
It is also the housing association’s first to combine purpose-built bungalows and "own front door" accommodation in a single supported living scheme.

Paul Mullane, director of development and sales at Halton Housing, said: "We’re proud to be working with Halton Borough Council, Homes England and AKM Homes on this vital supported living development in Widnes.
"Crow Wood Gardens represents our ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality, sustainable homes that meet the diverse needs of our community.
"We’re creating a space where residents can live independently with the right support in place, and we’re excited to see the positive impact this scheme will have."
The project is being delivered in partnership with Halton Borough Council and AKM Homes, with the support of consultants Markhams Building Cost Management and Wilkinson Cowan Partnership Ltd.
Construction began in July on land that has been vacant for some time and is due for completion in September 2026.
The scheme has secured £1.4 million in grant funding from Homes England, alongside a £250,000 grant from Halton Borough Council.
