LOS ANGELES, CA – Meta Housing Corporation has completed its first “family arts colony” apartment project - a new, 49-unit arts-focused affordable apartment community that integrates artistic live/work space in the San Pedro neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. 

The community, the Pacific Avenue Arts Colony, is the fourth arts colony project developed by Meta Housing, and the first that is open to non-senior residents.

Located at 303 South Pacific Avenue in San Pedro, California, the Pacific Avenue Arts Colony is comprised of affordable one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans.  More information is available at www.pacificavenueartscolony.com.

“Our senior arts colony apartment communities have proven successful in supporting and encouraging imaginative thinking and meaningful creative achievement among residents, while also bringing affordable housing and thoughtful architecture to many Cities,” says Kasey M. Burke, President of Meta Housing Corporation.
