DESCRIPTION
Cherry Street Commons is a site made up of three parcels located in downtown San Carlos, consisting of a total 33 unit affordable family housing units. The units will be listed at moderate-, low- and extremely-low income affordability levels and consist of fifteen 1-bedroom, nine 2-bedroom and nine 3-bedroom apartments.

Parks, schools, libraries, sports & recreation centers are also conveniently located less than a mile away. A manager’s unit will be located on site.
