Housing Strategy

About the Strategy

The Sunset Area Transformation Plan’s Housing Strategy began with a vision of transforming the Sunset neighborhood by replacing the former distressed 100-unit Sunset Terrace public housing project with high-quality mixed income units.

So far, three replacement housing projects have been completed: Glenwood Townhomes, Kirkland Townhomes, and the Sunset Court Apartments. Additional housing projects are planned for on and around the Sunset Terrace site and will include a combination of new and rehabilitated, low-income and market rate units.

Current Projects in the Housing Strategy

Not all projects in the 2016 Housing Strategy have funding, but many of them are being implemented as funding becomes available. Below are some of the current projects.

Sunset Court Apartments opened this fall. It is the third replacement housing project for Sunset Terrace. This project features 50 homes, made up of a variety of 3-bedroom townhomes and 1-, 2-, and 3- bedroom apartments. Sunset Court is ready for leasing–if interested, contact Quantum Management, 425-524-6115.
