Applications open for 44 affordable homes in west Roseville. How to sign up
Applications are now open for a new affordable housing development in west unincorporated Roseville, offering below-market rents for dozens of local families.
The housing is part of a new development called Parkside at Sabre City, located on Vandenburg Circle off PFE Road.
The development is expected to include 44 two- to four-bedroom units, with 22 of the homes also featuring additional two-bedroom accessory dwelling units on site.
Pricing for the homes at Parkside ranges from $1,499 to $2,388, according to the housing development’s website.
Households must make at least twice the monthly rent, and four of the 44 units are reserved for households whose incomes do not exceed 30% or 60% of the area median income. All other homes are reserved for households whose incomes do not exceed 80% of the area median income. Applications will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis.
The project was developed by Housing Trust Placer, an independent nonprofit formed through talks between the North State Building Industry Association and Placer County to identify new ways to finance affordable housing. The trust is eligible for significant state and private grants that are not available to many traditional public-private partnerships.
In December 2022, Housing Trust Placer acquired the 3.78-acre Sabre City site, according to the development’s website. The site received subdivision approval in 2023 through a partnership with the County of Placer and the Department of Housing and Community Development.
Housing Trust Placer Chief Executive Officer Robyn van Ekelenburg said the project represents progress toward helping families live in the communities where they work.
“For many families, renting affordable homes and owning a home in the communities where they work and contribute seemed like an impossible dream. But Housing Trust Placer, along with strong partnerships with local governments and businesses, is making it a reality,” said Ekelenburg.
Placer County officials said Housing Trust Placer ultimately plans to convert the homes to deed-restricted for-sale units, allowing future owners to build equity and keep a portion of the home’s appreciation upon resale.
The homes can be offered at lower prices than many affordable housing projects in the region because they use manufactured construction, along with developer in-lieu fees from Placer County and grants from the California Department of Housing and Community Development.
Applications for the homes are being accepted through Titan Property Management at titanrei.com, where prospective tenants can view available units and submit an application online.
