Recognized as a model for smart growth, La Valentina has been the recipient of a number of prestigious awards, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s National Award for Smart Growth Achievement and the Sacramento Area Council of Governments’ Blueprint Excellence Award.
Looking to reactivate a historic urban neighborhood, Domus built Sacramento’s first true transit-oriented development. The Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency selected Domus through a Request for Proposals process to develop this brownfield site adjacent to the La Valentina Light Rail Station.
Domus also created a pilot project for Sacramento Municipal Utility District’s Homes of the Future Program, creating the first near Net-Zero townhomes in Sacramento. The project implements numerous green building and design elements, and one-third of residents choose to walk, bike, or use transit for their daily commute.
La Valentina serves a range of residents in 81 studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, and offers access to employment centers and urban amenities as well as family-friendly amenities such as parks and a free on-site afterschool program.
