Senior Housing (a.k.a. “step down housing”) typically is: Age restricted to 55+, for sale condos, requires a subdivision map, no dining, not licensed, must comply with CA Fair Housing Act, may require affordable unit, no health services offered, managed by individual owners and a HOA association.
A small portion of the 30-acre site (approx. 15%) in the south-west corner is on the outer edge of the San Diego River 100-year flood plain. Preliminary discussions with the soil engineers and the County of San Diego indicate this can reasonably be mitigated by raising the site in that area up with no impact on neighboring properties.
Substantial beautification and dense screening will be planted within the large setback areas (up to 60 ft.) along Villa de la Valle and Calzada del Bosque to help conceal the property structures from the road. Single story cottage structures with the lowest height will be built along the perimeter to further shield the two-story apartment building set deeply within the northern portion of the property.
Silvergate Rancho Santa Fe will be built in a beautiful yet sophisticated style reflecting the Spanish design aesthetic frequently seen within the Ranch and similar to the Rancho Santa Fe golf club and the Rancho Santa Fe Inn.
While residents cannot be restricted to only seniors from the Ranch, the majority of residents will undoubtedly come from the immediate area (within 3 – 5 miles). Historically, most retirement communities, including all of Silvergate’s properties, have resident populations drawn from households within the communities in which they are located.
As our newest flag-ship property development, Silvergate Rancho Santa Fe will offer a multitude of new amenities for residents, including: Secured entrance with guard, a central club house with concierge, ballroom(s), pool, fitness center, health center, private nature trail, chipping green, fountains, on-site dining room, sport courts, game rooms, art/craft studios, salon, library, theater, meeting rooms, etc.).
