Developed by local nonprofits Wakeland Housing and Housing Innovation Partners (HIP), housing advocates and local leaders joined together to open doors at Serenade on 43rd, a new affordable housing community in San Diego’s City Heights neighborhood. The $40 million development transformed a 0.68-acre site into a unified community of 65 affordable homes, combining 45 new apartments with the rehabilitation of 20 existing units of Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing. The result is a cohesive, beautiful campus that honors the neighborhood’s history while providing high-quality, affordable homes for both low-income working families and individuals exiting homelessness, with onsite services and spaces designed to foster stability, health, and connection.
