San Diego residents now have access to new affordable rental homes in the Chollas View neighborhood, offering options for individuals and families with limited incomes.
The Orchard at Hilltop, a development that was previously unused, has been transformed into 111 rental units for people earning between 30% and 60% of the area’s median income. This means families of four with yearly incomes between $39,050 and $78,060 may qualify. The complex includes a range of unit sizes, from studios to four-bedroom apartments, to accommodate different household needs.
Mayor Highlights Collaboration
San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria expressed his gratitude to the Silverwood family and Affirmed Housing for their continued partnership on housing projects. “These initiatives improve neighborhoods and make it easier to provide the housing our city needs,” Gloria said.
Amenities for Residents
The Orchard at Hilltop is designed with community living in mind. It features a basketball court, gardening space, community room, and outdoor meeting areas. Residents also have access to a swimming pool and recreation area located within a nearby market-rate development.
Convenient Location
The apartments are within walking distance of essential services and amenities, including the Valencia Park/Malcolm X Library, schools, parks, and a San Ysidro Health Center. Public transportation is also accessible, with San Diego Metropolitan Transit System bus routes nearby and the 47th Street Trolley Station about a mile away.
Long-Term Affordability
To ensure long-term affordability, the San Diego Housing Commission (SDHC) has issued 25 rental vouchers to help tenants cover housing costs. Additionally, rents will remain affordable for the next 55 years, providing a stable housing option for qualifying families and individuals.
The Orchard at Hilltop offers a valuable opportunity for those seeking affordable living options in a convenient and community-oriented environment. For more information about the units or eligibility, interested individuals can contact the San Diego Housing Commission.
