Entry and courtyard of the community building at "El Pueblo Court"; An apartment complex that renovated and reused the 16 units from the old Stage Coach Motor Inn on Rt. 66. The complex has four small courtyard "neighborhoods" that encourage resident interaction. The first courtyard is "The Stagecoach Court", which is formed by the existing motor inn buildings. The sites's historic water well forms the second more urban courtyard, "Plaza Del Pozo". The community building is located in the "El Pueblo Court" and provides a daycare center, computer room, social service coordinator, kitchen and great room. The "Ribera and Tonita Couryards" form two distinctive activity zones for resident families, providing a safe place for children to play. The 60 total (44 new) units are efficiency one, two and three bedroom apartment homes, leased to tenants who qualify for the complex’s affordable housing provision.
