Ramona Metro Point

El Monte, CA

Project Overview

Ramona Metro Point is a 4 story, wood-framed transit-oriented development comprised of fifty (50) affordable apartments and one (1) manager’s unit, ground floor offices for management, and community meeting areas located adjacent to the City of El Monte’s existing transit-transfer-stop. This infill development will provide special needs and low income housing with a TOD focus that will ultimately encourage ridership and promote pedestrian activity on Tyler Avenue & Ramona Boulevard in the place of currently vacant lots.

The development will consist of a U-shaped building with 24 one-bedroom units, 12 two-bedroom units and 15 three-bedroom units for families with 80 parking spaces that are a combination of tandem, tuck-under, and compact spaces.

The development will include twenty-five (25) units intended for families of El Monte Unified School District that identify as homeless. The remaining affordable units (25) will be intended for low-income El Monte residents at a range of affordability from 30% – 60% AMI providing the City a much needed affordable housing option.

Residents of the development will benefit directly from services provided on the ground floor of the building, in addition to a community room with Wi-Fi, computer lab, homework stations, a tot-lot and bicycle parking. Ramona Metro Point seeks to reinvigorate one of the oldest and most vibrant neighborhoods in the San Gabriel Valley by providing an updated modern centerpiece as down payment for future development.
