The recipient of the City of South San Francisco Beautification Award 2005, Willow Gardens is an affordable housing portion of a larger neighborhood development in South San Francisco. Since 1998, MidPen Housing Corp. has been steadily acquiring buildings in the neighborhood for extensive interior and exterior rehabilitation, maintaining their status as affordable housing. Because of the success of MidPen’s rehabilitation work, landlords from neighboring buildings have been willing to upgrade their own buildings as well, thus improving the entire neighborhood. Willow Gardens is conveniently located close to shopping, an elementary school and BART.
