Long Beach/Burnett is an award-winning, 46-unit family apartment community that changed the look and feel of a neighborhood in downtown Long Beach.
Meta Housing Corporation selected the site due to its close proximity to the local metro line. The result is a community that allows residents to utilize public transportation more freely, while also contributing to the smart growth of the City as a whole.
The site, which was once a taco stand that had been converted into a check-cashing building, was located in a rundown area of Long Beach, and the City of Long Beach was seeking a solution to improve the area. Meta Housing worked closely with the Long Beach Housing Department Corporation in order to revitalize the neighborhood by developing this life-enhancing family community.
Residents of the Long Beach/Burnett community enjoy free after-school tutoring and continuing education classes, as well as health and wellness programs such as fitness classes and nutritional counseling.
