The 93-unit Pacific Wind Apartments affordable housing project will celebrate its grand opening next week
Carlsbad will celebrate the opening of its newest affordable housing complex Tuesday, the 93-unit Pacific Wind Apartments in the city’s Barrio neighborhood.
The apartment complex is on Sydney Way along the west side of Interstate 5, at the southern end of Harding Street and a block north of Tamarack Avenue. The homes previously on the property were duplexes built in the 1950s, and many were in poor repair. They were demolished to clear the site for construction.
The developers received a $7.4 million loan from the city in 2012 to purchase the lots for the site. Also, the city agreed to close more than half a block of Harding Street and dedicate that property to the project.Originally the developers planned to build as many as 140 apartments, but they were unable to buy all the lots needed for that.
Also on Harding Street in the Barrio is Tavaru Senior Apartments, a 50-unit, all-affordable complex for residents 55 years and older, and there is other subsidized affordable housing in the Barrio. Another seniors-only, all-affordable complex has 75 apartments a few blocks away on Tyler Street. However, while some categories of applicants can be given preference, such as veterans, state law says tenants cannot be restricted to applicants from any specific city.
