Seattle Housing Authority

Homes for Sale

Rainier Vista, located in Southeast Seattle, is a Seattle Housing Authority garden community in transition. Through a $35 million HOPE VI grant and over $100 million in partnership funds, Rainier Vista is currently being redeveloped from a 481 unit World War II temporary housing community that has been in use for more than 50 years to a new mixed-income community that will serve its residents and the surrounding neighborhood well into the future.

When the redevelopment of Rainier Vista is complete, it will have about 1,010 units of new housing dedicated to people with very low incomes, disabilities, the elderly, low-income working families as well as units for workforce housing. Rainier Vista will have parks, community gardens, and community space that will host community service providers. Rainier Vista is located along the route that will be served by the new Sound Transit LINK Light Rail, which in 2009 will have a station at MLK and Edmunds called Edmunds Station.

There's a Google Group for New Rainier Vista residents!

A Google Group is an online forum for neighborhood communication. Come join the conversation, share useful information (Know a good babysitter? Discover a great restaurant? Looking for a carpool? Need a recommendation for teen activities or a mechanic?), learn about upcoming events, and get to know your neighbors. All you need is an email address. Google Groups are FREE and are easy to use from any internet-enabled computer.

To participate, send your email address and your home address (this is necessary to limit membership of the group to actual NRV residents) to christina@dolcideleria.com. All ages are welcome.
