Situated alongside a regional and national entertainment destination, the Clara District effortlessly combines the excitement of live performances and events with the tranquility of a suburban setting. Abundant outdoor gathering spaces foster a sense of community and provide opportunities for social interactions. Complementing these features are active and programmed neighborhood parks that serve as dynamic hubs for residents of all ages.

Seamlessly connected to transportation options and offering a wide range of amenities, this community provides an exceptional living experience that seamlessly blends urban vibrancy with the charm of suburban life.

“We are excited about the AVE Santa Clara development, which will continue the progress toward building critical housing in Silicon Valley. The future of hybrid housing is essential to promote both work and play, connecting our residents to the growing regional transportation hub, and also providing a community to the expanding technology sector right here in the City of Santa Clara, the Center of What’s Possible.”
