Located in the City of La Puente, Arboleda Senior Apartments is the new construction of high-quality affordable housing dedicated to serving low-income adults aged 62 years and older.

Designed by Y&M Architects, Arboleda draws on the region’s history through its heavily Spanish-influenced building design. In addition to the trademark white stucco and red roof tiles, decorative Spanish tile can be found throughout the site, most notably in the main courtyard. Residents enjoy a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces designed to encourage social interaction. Amenities include a large multi-purpose community room, age-appropriate fitness room, computer center, library, ground-floor courtyard, and second-story terrace. The courtyard features a small community garden area of raised beds that was being well utilized by the tenants.

Support from the City of La Puente was critical to the project’s success. The City approved the site’s entitlements under a specific plan in 1992, but the site remained undeveloped. When Meta Housing approached the City in 2019, the City provided timely assistance in amending the specific plan and reviewing construction drawings to start construction in a year. The City also expedited onsite inspections and distributed marketing materials to various community-based organizations to accelerate construction and lease-up.
