As part of an extensive downtown revitalization effort, the City of Fontana was searching for perspective developers to address a need for affordable senior housing. National Community Renaissance, (National CORE) in a joint venture with Related Companies of California fulfilled that need with "The Village at Sierra, one of National CORE's premier apartment communities.
Officially opened in February of 2003, the three-story Spanish-style community comprised of 108 one-bedroom units offers seniors a haven that is pedestrian-friendly, close to senior services, and near public transportation. Residents enjoy an abundance of amenities that include a community room, fitness center, lounge, media center, swimming pool and a courtyard that features a barbeque and outdoor lounge area.
Due to the success of the Village at Sierra, the City of Fontana invited National CORE to participate in the development of two more communities. Modeling the exemplar Village at Sierra, National CORE built the Fountains at Sierra and the Gardens at Sierra.
