Pacific Beach, Calif. – National CORE and the San Diego Community Housing Corporation’s new Rose Creek Village will bring 59 high-quality affordable studio apartments – including 18 reserved for veterans – to San Diego’s trendy Pacific Beach neighborhood in 2026, connecting residents to the area’s lively culture and abundant services and resources.
City and county officials, partners and company leaders gathered on Sept. 17 at the site of the new apartments to celebrate the start of construction on the innovative coastal community.
Rose Creek Village will feature modern, efficient studio-style apartments for individuals, small families, veterans and seniors. Serving residents earning between 30% and 60% of the area median income, the community also will provide comprehensive resident services to ensure long-term housing stability.
Federal rental housing vouchers awarded by the San Diego Housing Commission (SDHC) will help pay rent for the 18 veterans who experienced homelessness and 29 additional residents with low income.
“Bringing affordable housing to high-resource neighborhoods like Pacific Beach shows what’s possible when we commit to building homes in every community,” Mayor Todd Gloria said. “Thanks in part to the City’s Bridge to Home program that works to get more affordable homes built across every neighborhood of San Diego, veterans and other San Diegans will soon have safe, stable places to call home right here by the beach. Housing ends homelessness, and this project is another step toward ensuring every San Diegan has a roof over their head at a price they can afford.”
In San Diego County, more than 9,900 people experienced homelessness on a given night, according to the 2025 Point-in-Time Count, a 6.5% decrease from the 2024 count.
Rose Creek Village also addresses a statewide push to locate affordable housing in a variety of communities, including resource-rich affluent areas, such as Pacific Beach, as a way of creating a balance of housing opportunities.
“Rose Creek Village represents our commitment to bringing affordable housing into communities where it’s often out of reach,” said John Seymour, vice president of acquisitions and forward planning for National CORE. “By creating homes in Pacific Beach, we’re not only addressing the urgent need for housing but also ensuring that residents have access to the opportunities, services and vibrant culture that make this neighborhood so unique.”
The community is designed with sustainability in mind. Its smaller, energy-efficient apartments reduce water and energy use, including the pioneering use of façade-based solar panels. Transit accessibility is especially important for low-income communities because residents frequently do not own cars and may lack access to essential community resources, shops and services.
“Every San Diegan deserves access to safe, stable and affordable housing in thriving communities,” said Ted Miyahara, president & CEO of San Diego Community Housing Corporation. “Through our partnership with National CORE, we’re creating lasting solutions that strengthen neighborhoods and change lives.”
The development is conveniently located minutes from grocery stores, pharmacies, cafes, banks. Walking paths provide access to the beach boardwalk, Pacific Beach Library and local recreation center. The new community will include amenities such as a community room, bike hub, laundry facilities and barbecue area.
Funding is being provided by JP Morgan Chase, the City of San Diego, the San Diego County No Place Like Home program, SDHC, Hudson Housing Capital and California Department of Housing and Community Development Infill Infrastructure Grant. The property was funded in part with Community Development Block Grant funds and HOME Investments Partnership Grant (HOME) funds provided to the City of San Diego by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
“Rose Creek Village will bring much-needed affordable housing to San Diegans with lower incomes, including veterans experiencing homelessness,” San Diego Housing Commission President & CEO Lisa Jones said. “Federal funding, along with support from state, county, city and private sector funds, is making this development possible.”
The Hope through Housing Foundation will provide residents with on-site services and programs to connect them to their community, meet their basic needs and help them maintain their physical and mental health.
Through partnerships with the County of San Diego Behavioral Health Services and their associated contracted agencies, multiple community providers of the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the community will equip residents with the tools and resources they need to achieve long-term housing stability.
