Oak Hill Apartments
Community Type: Educator, Family/Individual
Property Description
Oak Hill Apartments is proposed to be developed on approximately 8.5 acres of unused state property in the unincorporated area of San Quentin as a result of Executive Order (N-06-19) executed by Governor Gavin Newsom to identify State-owned sites to address the California housing crisis. The proposed development will be comprised of two affordable residential communities —115 apartments developed by Eden Housing targeted toward lower income families, and 135 apartments to be built by Education Housing Partners (EHP) for income qualifying teachers and staff of local school districts and county employees.
Both residential communities will offer one, two and three-bedroom for-rent apartment homes and will share common infrastructure, including some amenity areas and a parking structure. Due to the State’s ownership of the site, the State will be the lead agency on entitlements, CEQA, and permitting.
The preliminary design concept responds to the environment by gently terracing homes to maximize Bay and hillside views. The community will feature sustainable design, drought-tolerant landscaping, and high-quality finishes. Amenities will include a clubhouse with a lounge and business center, as well as outdoor areas for socializing, playing, and reflecting. Award-winning firms SVA Architects of Oakland and Mill Valley-based RHAA are the architect and landscape architect, respectively, for both developments in the new community.
