Buena Vista Terrace
Buena Vista Terrace
Deep in the heart of San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, Buena Vista Terrace stands as a testament to innovative senior housing. The adaptive reuse development transformed the historic 1915 Third Church of Christ, Scientist into a 40-unit affordable senior community for residents age 62 and above. The project retained the building’s Romanesque Revival façade, marrying fashionable apartments-studio and one-bedroom varieties-into its historic hull. Each unit has a well-outfitted kitchen and en-suite bathroom, complemented by common facilities like lounge areas, library, and laundry room. Energy-efficient appliances and lighting devices prove the community’s commitment to being environmentally friendly.
Apart from its design, Buena Vista Terrace offers residents a setting that addresses their particular requirements. The Jewish Family and Children’s Services’ Seniors at Home Program provides home-based services that emphasize health and well-being, encouraging an inclusive approach to aging in place. Located at 1250 Haight Street, the community is near public transportation, parks, and neighborhood services, keeping residents connected to the city’s diverse culture. With its blend of vintage charm and modern comforts, Buena Vista Terrace embodies smart senior living in the city.
