Casa Colina del Sol in San Diego is a 75-apartment home for low-income seniors and people with disabilities, with rents limited to households earning at or below 60 percent of the area median income. Housing Development Partners bought the property in 2003 so it would stay affordable for 55 years. A later update added energy-saving windows and doors and renewed the community room, community kitchen, and laundry room. The three-story building also has landscaped grounds, and a Resident Services Coordinator has worked on site since 2005 to support the people who live there.

The page lists financing from 4% low-income housing tax credit equity (National Equity Fund), a tax-exempt bond loan (Red Mortgage) and a residual receipts loan from the San Diego Housing Commission - financing sources, not payment types the provider states it accepts, so payment_types_stated is not published. | |

Common questions about Casa Colina Del Sol
Where is Casa Colina Del Sol located?
Casa Colina Del Sol is at 5207 52nd Pl, San Diego, CA 92105.
How much does independent living cost?
There is no single price for independent living. Rent is set by each community and varies a lot by city. The cost survey this site uses does not publish a national median for independent living, so we do not print one. Medicare does not pay for it, so families pay the rent out of pocket. See our guide to independent living costs and who pays for the full picture.
Does Medicare pay for independent living?
No. Medicare does not pay rent or housing costs. It pays for your medical care while you live there, like doctor visits, hospital care, and home health visits. The housing itself is paid out of pocket.
What is the difference between independent living and assisted living?
Independent living is housing for older adults who can live on their own. It gives a private home, meals in some places, and social activities. It does not include help with daily tasks. Assisted living adds that help. Staff help with bathing, dressing, and medicine, and staff are on hand day and night.
Who else pays for independent living besides Medicare?
Families pay the rent out of pocket. No insurance pays for independent living rent. Low-income senior apartments funded by HUD keep rent lower for people who qualify. Some veterans put VA pension payments toward the rent.
