Just off of busy Soquel Avenue in the Eastside Business District of Santa Cruz, Grace Commons is an affordable apartment building built on the site of the former Grace Methodist Church. The church played a critical role in fostering the development of a housing complex that would serve psychiatrically disabled residents.
This fifteen one-bedroom unit building is less than 10,000 square feet and fits in well as the neighborhood transition between busy Soquel Avenue on the north side, and the smaller-scaled cottages and small apartment buildings to the south.
