Walnut Creek, CA Villa Vasconcellos is an exciting new project that brings beautifully designed and landscaped affordable senior housing to Walnut Creek. This three-story building oriented to the outdoors and panoramic views provides 69 one-bedroom apartments and one manager’s unit, set around two courtyards. Features include indoor and outdoor meeting spaces, a community kitchen and garden, and artwork in the public spaces, much of it donated by local artists. Green building features contribute to the property's sustainability and include a photovoltaic system for the common area electrical load, solar thermal panels for hot water, double glazed windows, Energy Star appliances, and non-toxic interior finishes and materials for healthy indoor air quality. Villa Vasconcellos offers a unique program for seniors, focused on healthy living and assisting seniors in maintaining their independence. This “aging-in-place” model supports independent living for seniors 55 and older, including those with special needs. RCD provides onsite supportive services such as exercise classes and also collaborates with local service providers to offer activities that include onsite visits from a nurse practitioner and cooking and nutrition classes.
