Alta Mira Senior and Family Apartments

Eden Housing partnered with AMCAL Housing to develop a mixed income community near the South Hayward BART station. Eden Housing developed 151 units of affordable housing for families and seniors in two buildings, and AMCAL will construct approximately 206 market rate rental units and the associated infrastructure for the entire master-planned development -– including a new public park directly adjacent to the sites. This development has transformed the core of the South Hayward community, creating a vibrant high quality living environment for residents adjacent to the BART station.

The family development includes 87 one, two and three bedroom units. These units are targeted to households earning between 20 and 50 percent of Alameda County Area Median Income, as adjusted for family size.

Adjacent to the family building are 64 affordable senior apartments including both one- and two-bedroom units. These units are affordable to senior households earning between 30 and 50 percent of Alameda County Area Median Income.

Both buildings include amenities common to Eden’'s high quality projects -– a community room, a computer learning center. Eden service coordination staff also provides programming that helps build community and support the residents, including after school, summer, and technology programs for youth and financial management and homebuyer training for adults.

While the two buildings have their own interior common space, they each share the common outdoor podium courtyard –- and the interior spaces are sited in a way to create a natural flow between the two properties in the common outdoor space. The courtyard includes a tot lot, raised community gardens, and picnic tables.

The site is located within walking distance of a wealth of amenities including parks, schools and transportation.
