Senior Housing May be Finished Ahead of Schedule

As you pass the Forest Home Farms off of San Ramon Valley Boulevard, you may notice a great deal of housing sprouting just behind the Glass House Museum.

The project, Valley Vista, is scheduled to be completed by May – much sooner than expected.

Valley Vista is a project spearheaded by American Baptist Homes of the West, a Pleasanton-based developer that's among the top 20 affordable-housing builders in the nation, according to its website.

Valley Vista is the newest affordable senior housing in San Ramon, covering a 4.7-acre site. The property is near the Lucky Supermarket, restaurants, pharmacies and shops.

A public transit stop for County Connection line #121 will be built at the front of the property, providing access to greater San Ramon, as well as Dublin and Walnut Creek BART stations. Plans also call for on-site transportation and activities, according to the City of San Ramon website.

If you are an interested senior or know a good candidate, check the development. You may just discover your new home. Brooke Harris, San Ramon's housing programs manager, plans to take applications next month.

February workshops are planned to explain the project and to take applications. As soon as these dates, times and places are released, San Ramon Patch will let you know. Postcards with more details also will be mailed to residents of San Ramon.

The affordable senior-housing units are expected to go quickly, just in time for baby boomers beginning retirement. Contact American Baptist Homes to get on the waiting list.
