Esperanza Village

Located on a nearly 14 acre site, this new mixed-use project brings 202 much needed, 100% affordable apartments, and a host of community-serving medical uses including a vocational training school, a medical clinic, and a senior health center, as part of El Monte’s affordable housing initiative. The project will serve a variety of target populations and income levels, with provisions for low and extremely low-income households, seniors, transition age youth, and unhoused residents.

Designed by AC Martin and developed by National CORE and Prima Development, Esperanza Village will bring 202 affordable homes to El Monte. The community will include a three-story building with 102 apartments for families and a second three-story building with 100 apartments for seniors ages 62 and older. Homes will serve households earning between 30% and 70% of the area median income. Of the 202 apartments, 154 will provide supportive housing for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness and survivors of domestic violence. Supportive housing within the family building will also serve transitional-age youth. A mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments will accommodate residents at different stages of life. Each residential building will feature a landscaped courtyard, community room, bicycle storage, lounge areas, and other shared amenities designed to encourage connection and support residents’ well-being.
