$1,875 studio apartment & Manteca’s ineffective and/or non-existent affordable housing strategy
PERSPECTIVE
The floorplan of the 515-square-foot studio apartment renting for $1.875 at The Atherton on Atherton Drive east of Bass Po Shops.
Housing in Manteca, despite having an affordable housing expert as well as an affordable housing zealot on the City Council, is becoming less affordable with each passing day.
Studio apartments in The Atherton are now renting for $1,875 a month. Some call that “Bay Area” rents but that is not completely true.
In the heart of the Bay Area a studio apartment in a new complex will put you back right around $3,000 a month. That said with each passing day Manteca, Lathrop, Tracy, and Mountain House are becoming more and more Bay Area and less and less Northern San Joaquin Valley.
