Crenshaw Villas exemplifies the redevelopment taking place on Crenshaw Boulevard, as the Crenshaw Metro Line comes to fruition, since the new building is replacing several deteriorated commercial buildings with a new 50 unit, 38 one-bedroom, 12 two-bedroom mixed use, apartment complex for seniors. All units are affordable to tenants paying no more than 30% of their income for rent, as the complex is being financed with, among other programs, 9% Housing Tax Credits. The building features ground floor retail space, a bike parking area, generous community facilities for the tenants and multiple gathering areas with views out over the City of Los Angeles.
