Cottage Village Apartments

Location: Manteca, California

Type: Senior Affordable Rental Housing

Units: 48

Status: Completed

Cottage Village Senior Apartments is a senior development for low and very low-income senior residents. The project consists of forty (40) one-bedroom one-bath units and eight (8) two-bedroom one-bath units.

Units were constructed in eleven (11) four-plex buildings and two (2) duplex buildings. Only two of the four-plex buildings are two story; thus, only four units are 2nd story units. 42 of the units are ground level accessible with six provided at a second level. The project sponsors, DFA Development, believed that the project would enable a significant group of local seniors to continue residence in Manteca and that the proposed plan was to create a welcoming and comfortable community. The form and density of the project site and building improvements fits in nicely with the existing neighborhood and takes maximum advantage of the site and project opportunities. With the relatively level site, preponderance of ground level units, a generous unit design with interior spaces and clearances for full accessibility, the project offers 42 units that provide prospective senior and disabled senior residents with options that presently do not exist.
