SAN DIEGO COUNTY, Calif. — Poway Mayor Steve Vaus along with other local leaders celebrated Thursday the grand opening of the Apollo -- a 44-unit property for seniors and senior veterans within Poway Commons in the City of Poway.
At first glance it doesn’t appear to be an affordable housing community. Well, that's what the developers said they want.
The idea behind Apollo was for it to be a community first, with both residents and Poway in mind.
The 44-unit property is already leased out and has a waiting list full of names, according to developers.
The rent ranges from $1,100 to $1,300 for a one bedroom, a two bedroom can cost anywhere from $1,200 to $1,500, which are well below the average rent prices in San Diego County.
Poway Mayor Steve Vaus credited the citizens of Poway that came together to visualize this project and for making it happen.
“Finding ways to provide affordable housing, especially for older adults and veterans, is more important than ever. I’m proud of our City Council for helping pave the way for opportunities here in Poway, along with our partners Chelsea Investment Corporation and Meridian Development,” Mayor Vaus said.
