The three completed homes are for sale, each with four bedrooms, one and three-quarter bathrooms, a two-car garage, and 1,500 square feet of total living space. Six new two-story homes will be built on two lots: 5603 E. Calle Iglesia and 5604 E. Calle Mexico. The six homes have three bedrooms, 1 3/4 bathrooms and approximately 2,500 square feet of living space.
To ensure this work continues, the Board of Supervisors has allocated additional funds to build one one- and four-bedroom home. The home has 1 3/4 bathrooms, a two-car garage, and approximately 1,500 square feet of total living space. The home is located at 5532 E. Calle Encinas.
Each home will be available to first-time homebuyers with incomes at or below 80% of Area Median Income (AMI) ($74,800 per year for a family of four). The homes will also be built with accessibility, sustainability and energy efficiency in mind to make operating costs as manageable as possible and promote a healthy living environment.
