Auburn Park's architectural character is a collage of local styles and idioms. It takes cues from both the nearby "California ranch" style homes as well as the stucco-clad commercial structures along University Avenue. Generous windows, balconettes, stoops, and deep overhangs add interest and variety. Painted horizontal siding and vine-covered trellises create shadow and texture. Openings in the street-wall along University offer glimpses into landscaped courts beyond. Auburn Park's appearance is unashamedly contemporary while remaining respectful of its eclectic setting. The 69 rental units will be available at below-market rates for working families of modest means.
