Serenity Senior Apartments (referred to as “University Avenue Senior Housing” during development) is a response to the tremendous need for affordable housing for seniors in San Mateo County. Completing construction in September 2017, the community provides 41 affordable rental homes to very-low and extremely low income seniors, including apartments targeted to frail and elderly households, in the heart of East Palo Alto. Serenity Senior Apartments adds vitality and strength to University Avenue, the City’s main thoroughfare. The site is well serviced by public transportation, and is proximate to many amenities, including local shopping centers, as well as community services like the public library, supermarkets, pharmacies and the local community senior center.
