This affordable housing senior community elevates the aesthetic of the surrounding neighborhood.
Arboleda Senior Apartments is a senior affordable housing community located in the City of La Puente. The previous owner originally entitled the project in 1992, but development stalled for decades when they were unable to secure financing. In 2019, Meta Housing acquired the site and worked closely with the City to secure financing and modify the existing specific plan to maximize site efficiency. The project began construction later that year, becoming one of Meta Housing’s fastest projects from predevelopment to construction completion.
Resident programming at Arboleda Senior Apartments is designed toward active, income-qualified seniors aged 62 years and over. The community promotes healthy aging, emphasizing creativity, wellness, lifelong learning, and independence.
The design embraces a modern Spanish style with clean lines, neutral color palettes, and natural materials. Building amenities include a community room, computer lab, library, fitness room, and raised garden for residents to grow vegetables and flowers.
