The Terraces of Lafayette:
A Community that Makes Sense

Lafayette is renowned for its excellent schools, semi-rural charm, sophisticated dining and shopping, recreational opportunities, and its dynamic community. The Terraces of Lafayette will be 315 eco-friendly apartments with 63 affordable units in one of the Bay Area’s most sought-after zip codes.

It is conveniently located close to BART, and next to Highway 24 and I-680, with access to the entire Diablo Valley and Bay Area.

Lafayette schools and local businesses need nearby rental housing to remain competitive for top talent. Building more housing close by will reduce commutes for people who work in Lafayette while also alleviating the number of people driving through key routes to get to work.

People Living Closer to Where They Work

Nearly 9,000 people commute in to Lafayette for work, while the same number leave to return home. That’s about 18,000 trips, which is time-consuming for the commuters, adds to traffic on key local routes, and increases greenhouse gas emissions. Imagine a quick trip from the Terraces to work in Lafayette.
It’s difficult for people to spend lengthy amounts of time on the road and still engage fully in their jobs and the community in which they work.

Families and Communities are Stronger with a Variety of Housing

Young people who grew up in Lafayette need housing so they can stay in or return to live in the community. Parents and grandparents appreciate the younger generations being able to live closer to home.
Many older adults want to downsize into a new apartment and enjoy a maintenance-free lifestyle without having to leave the community. Older adults can enjoy the socialization with other residents and can partake of the recreational amenities at the apartments for a healthy lifestyle.
Healthy cities include multiple generations living, working, and investing together in the community.

New Housing to Ease Local Traffic

Bay Area growth is choking our key transportation routes, with so many people commuting from the east to the west. If the sprawl continues, traffic will only get worse.
Traffic on Pleasant Hill Road and Deer Hill Road can be eased with road improvements.
Housing with easy access to State Route 24 and near a BART station makes good sense. To get to BART, residents can ride a bike, take a 20-minute walk, or hop on a convenient shuttle.
