South Sacramento’s New Affordable Housing Gem | Sacramento News

South Sacramento just got a major housing win with the grand opening of San Juan One Apartments — 113 all-electric homes built from the former San Juan Motel, now offering affordable rent for families at 30-60% of area median income. The complex isn’t just housing — it’s a community hub with a pool, playground, laundry, EV chargers, and local art, including a restored motel sign and murals by artist Karen Chen. Big names like Supervisor Patrick Kennedy and Mayor Pro Tem Eric Guerra joined the celebration, highlighting a rare collaboration tackling affordability and neighborhood revival. Rent starts at just $771 — a steal in today’s market — though the lottery’s closed and residents are already moving in. This project proves that forgotten spaces can become vibrant, inclusive communities. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
