Renderings have been released for the affordable housing redevelopment of the Buena Vista Village at 3980 El Camino Real in Palo Alto, one of Rockridge Geotechnical’s sites. The project would replace the site’s mobile home park with 105 affordable units, broken down into a parcel with a three-story, 61-unit apartment complex called Buena Vista Commons and a second parcel with 44 mobile homes. Residents of the current mobile home park will be offered the option to move to these replacement units, with amenities including a plaza connected to a community room and landscaped space surrounding on-site parking.
