Ridgeview Commons Reopens After Overhaul

Eden Housing reopened Ridgeview Commons in Pleasanton on Wednesday after a $23.7 million renovation of the 200-unit affordable senior community. (edenhousing.org) The grand re-opening was scheduled for April 29 at 5200 Case Avenue, with Mayor Jack Balch, Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan and Alameda County Supervisor Nate Miley listed as speakers. (edenhousing.org) Ridgeview Commons was built in 1989 and serves residents age 62 and older across seven buildings, including six residential buildings and one community building. (edenhousing.org) The renovation reached all 200 apartments and common spaces. Eden Housing said the work included new heating and cooling systems, new windows, exterior repairs, updated dining and office areas, and water-efficient landscaping.

(edenhousing.org) Eden Housing said Ridgeview Commons is now fully leased. The nonprofit called the property part of Pleasanton’s effort to meet rising demand for affordable housing for older residents.

(cityofpleasantonca.gov) Funding partners on the Ridgeview Commons overhaul included the City of Pleasanton, Enterprise Community Partners, First Citizens Bank, the California Housing Finance Agency, the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee and the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee. (edenhousing.org) The reopening marked the return of one of Pleasanton’s larger affordable senior properties, with 200 apartments back online in a fully renovated complex first opened nearly four decades ago.
