DeVries Place
The result of a partnership between nonprofit developer Mid-Peninsula Housing Coalition and the Milpitas Redevelopment Agency, DeVries Place is a housing project for seniors that has become the cornerstone of the city’s downtown revitalization effort. Situated on a historic yet underused site in the town’s center, DeVries Place provides 103 affordable rental homes for low- to very-low-income seniors. Helping restore the character of the town’s Main Street by incorporating a historic home, the apartments are within walking distance of the newly renovated municipal library and a soon-to-be-completed modern medical center.
