A former public housing site in the City of Dublin has been revitalized into a vibrant, mixed-income, mixed-use development. With significant economic impact on the community, the project has created approximately 862 construction and 163 permanent jobs, along with nearly 400 new affordable and market-rate homes for Dublin residents. New residents have started moving into their new homes, and the affordable apartments are expected to be completely leased up by the end of March 2013.

Emerald Vista is a master-planned development designed to serve a broad cross section of the Dublin community.   Emerald Vista reuses and transforms the 24-acre Arroyo Vista site into a vibrant, mixed-use, mixed-income community. The project is a result of the combined efforts of the City of Dublin, Housing Authority of the County of Alameda, Eden Housing, and KB Home. Comprised of Carlow Court and Wexford Way by Eden Housing and Crossroads and Amador Pointe by KB Home, Emerald Vista provides 198 for-sale market rate homes and 180 affordable rental apartments for families and seniors. In addition, a Community Center, a Childcare Center, active open space areas, and access to a regional trail along Alamo Creek are included.

This exciting new community provides 130 new rental apartments for low-income families and 50 new rental apartments for low-income seniors. The $54.6 million affordable development is targeted to family and senior households earning 30% to 55% of the Alameda County Area Median Income.   Carlow Court and Wexford Way are developed utilizing the latest "green building" techniques and materials, and are designed in accordance with Build it Green's GreenPoint Rated system.

Through Eden Housing's free resident services program, families of Wexford Way will benefit from programs such as technology training, financial literacy, community involvement, green education, health, wellness, and safety.  Senior residents living at  Carlow Court will be provided with programs designed to help them "age in place" and live independently in a healthy and productive way for as long as possible. Eden Housing provides its residents with daily support and access to valuable resources within their communities. 

KB Home's two beautiful and affordably priced new home communities, Crossroads and Amador Pointe at Emerald Vista offer area homebuyers exquisite new floor plans and tremendous value. All of the new KB homes are Built to Order, meaning that homebuyers are able to customize their new home to their unique lifestyle. Additionally, all the homes are both ENERGY STAR® qualified and GreenPoint Rated, designed and built to operate more efficiently and help save their owners money on their energy bills.

Funding for Eden Housing's Carlow Court and Wexford Way is provided by the City of Dublin, Housing Authority of the County of Alameda, Wells Fargo Community Lending and Investment, Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco Affordable Housing Program, Silicon Valley Bank, and California Community Reinvestment Corporation.
