Crescent Meadows Senior Community Coming to Visalia

A new place for seniors to call home is on the way in Visalia. Crescent Meadows, an affordable rental community designed especially for older adults, will bring comfort, connection, and housing stability to local residents.

The development is a partnership between Self-Help Enterprises, a nonprofit with a long history of affordable housing across the San Joaquin Valley, and Visalia Senior Housing, a local group devoted to serving low-income seniors. Together, they are creating a community that meets both the practical needs and the social needs of older adults.

Crescent Meadows will be located on 6.36 acres at the northwest corner of Ferguson Avenue and North Dinuba Boulevard in Visalia. The first phase will include 80 apartments for adults ages 62 and older, with 64 one-bedroom units and 16 two-bedroom units. Of these, 24 will be set aside for senior veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, offering a safe and supportive place for those who served our nation. Construction is expected to be complete in 2027.

The new community will provide affordable rents for residents across a range of incomes. For many seniors living on fixed incomes, this stability makes all the difference. Affordable housing not only helps people remain in their hometown but also frees up resources for other essentials such as healthcare, groceries and transportation.

The community is also designed to allow aging in place, including health services on-site and connections to Family HeathCare Network's Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) services.

At the heart of Crescent Meadows will be a community building that serves as both a gathering space and a resource hub. Here, residents will find on-site staff, supportive services, workshops and space for social events. It will be a place designed to bring neighbors together and help seniors feel connected.

The development is also forward-looking. Crescent Mead-ows will be an all-electric project generating enough energy to cover common area load. Landscaping will feature drought-tolerant plants and water-saving irrigation systems, helping to keep utility costs low while protecting natural resources.

For Self-Help Enterprises and Visalia Senior Housing, Crescent Meadows represents more than construction. It reflects a shared commitment to dignity, safety and opportunity for older adults. Stable housing has the power to improve health, strengthen community ties and bring peace of mind.

As construction moves ahead, Crescent Meadows promises to be more than just a housing development. It will be a place where seniors can live affordably, build friendships and enjoy a good quality of life in the years to come.
