SAN DIEGO - The first of 11 residential developments on excess county land opened Thursday, with elected leaders dedicating the Levant Senior Cottages community in San Diego's Linda Vista neighborhood.
The complex is 4.5 acres featuring a mix of single-story cottage-style bungalows and apartment homes in two-story buildings with elevator service for older residents' easy access. The homes are surrounded by courtyard gardens and feature a communal kitchen and computer lab, along with a small dog park.
"We must be honest about the crisis our region is facing and decide when enough is enough," said County Supervisor Monica Montgomery Steppe."Today, we are seeing the very first property to open doors on land offered by the county through an initiative to use excess county sites to develop affordable housing. This also a first step for many more positive projects to come.
