On April 9, 2020 the Community Housing Works invited the residents of Vista to a ground breaking at 501 S. Santa Fe. However, because of the COVID-19 virus the public ceremony was called off. The grading of the property started immediately. North County Daily Star had the opportunity to speak with the development team which included Mary Jane Jagodzinski-Senior Vice President, Housing and Real Estate Development, Kelly Moden-Vice President of Development and Jackie Oh-Project Manager.

Paseo Artist Village is a pedestrian-friendly and transit-oriented mixed-use affordable development with 60 apartments of 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms. The apartments will have a preference for artists, veterans and Vista residents earning 30-59% of the area median income.
501 South Santa Fe Avenue
Reflecting the City of Vista’s vision for an Arts and Culture District and consistent with the City’s strong artist tradition, Paseo Artist Village will be a gateway to this arts neighborhood and a catalyst for vibrant new development along the South Santa Fe corridor. The new community includes 2,100 square feet of retail space, energizing the corner of Guajome Street and South Santa Fe Avenue. Community HousingWorks is committed to creating sustainable communities, and the GreenPoint Rated development will include a resident art gallery and studio, computer room, community room, secure parking structure, leasing office, play areas and a large central courtyard adjacent to the gallery.
