Bay Area housing just got a major upgrade, and we’re here for it! Satellite Housing Associates is swooping in to transform a sleepy Walnut Creek apartment complex into a game-changing affordable housing paradise.
From Old to Bold
Forget what you know about cookie-cutter apartment developments. This 1.4-acre site at 150-170 Sierra Drive is about to become a 100% affordable housing dream. The existing 29-unit Sierra Garden Apartments? They’re getting a complete demolition makeover to make way for 87 new units that actual working-class people might actually be able to afford.
More Than Just Apartments
This isn’t just another housing project. We’re talking serious amenities: an open patio, resident garden, tot lot, and an existing swimming pool that’s sticking around. Satellite Housing is pulling out all the stops, even seeking streamlined review and waivers for height, stories, and parking to make this vision a reality.
Bay Area Housing Hope
With Walnut Creek seeing multiple housing developments - including another 112-unit complex replacing a miniature golf course - it’s clear the region is serious about tackling the housing crisis. This project isn’t just construction; it’s a statement that affordable housing matters.
Stay tuned, because this development is about to change the game for Bay Area renters.
