Exciting news! The first several individuals and families have moved into VTA's first Transit Oriented Development housing in more than 20 years. 

Tamien Station Apartments offers modern, affordable homes just steps from Tamien Caltrain and VTA Light Rail, placing downtown San Jose, employers, parks, and everyday conveniences all within reach. The complex includes spacious floor plans, on-site daycare, and other amenities.

Approximately 18 residents have moved into the new building since it opened at the end of September.  All but 14 of the 135 units are filled.  The available apartments range from studios to three bedrooms accessible to those individuals or families earning 60% or less of Santa Clara County's Average Median Income.

The next phase of this development will feature 132 more affordable units which is expected to break ground next year.

A low cost day care center is poised to open on the same property just after the new year.
