VENTURA SPRINGS
DESCRIPTION
Ventura Springs, set on a 10-acre site formerly owned by the City of Ventura, is a new community for formerly homeless veterans as well as low-income veterans and their families. This inclusive neighborhood will feature 122 apartments across 11 buildings, mixing two-story walk-ups with two three-story structures, all integrated within vibrant courtyards that promote community activities. Designed as a traditional, family-oriented community, Ventura Springs will have sidewalks lined with residential front doors, fostering a welcoming, pedestrian-friendly environment. It will not only provide quality housing for low-income veterans and their families but also a range of on-site amenities.
Of the ten residential buildings, we anticipate leasing up the first seven buildings this fall, with the remaining 3 buildings scheduled for year-end. Our lease-up efforts began in early May with the Housing Authority of the City of San Buenaventura, Veterans Affairs, our co-developer and service provider U.S.VETS, and the Ventura County Continuum of Care. Together, we have started identifying potential applicants, marking a significant milestone in our journey. We look forward to welcoming residents to their new homes soon!
AMENITIES
