Stage Coach’s architectural design was award-winning, “integrating old Santa Fe with the new Santa Fe,” stated Housing Trust executive director Sharron Welsh. “In a way, it melds the style of the Santa Fe Plaza with the Railyard’s contemporary antique look.” Stage Coach offers compact development with ample open space, including community gardens and orchards, sport courts, walking paths with fitness zones for adults and teens, and native rain gardens that offer opportunities for explorative learning and play. The spacious community building has a sunny lobby with seating, a kitchen, a computer lab, offices, and a large classroom for daycare and after school programs. The site is pedestrian friendly with paths connecting directly to the Arroyo de Los Chamisos nature trail, public transportation, and commercial activities along Cerrillos Road, an ideal workforce housing neighborhood with a concentration of retail employment nearby. Stage Coach Apartments is LEED for Home Platinum Certified, the highest level of sustainability accreditation.

On-site services include a resident social service coordinator and programs provided through nonprofit cohorts — at no cost to residents or the development cash flows — including financial fitness, computer and CPR training, health screening, and preschool daycare. Additional modules available on demand include: homebuyer training, energy literacy and healthy home education, financial literacy and job training/placement for youth, ESL, after school recreation, cooperative child care/parenting skills and healthy cooking and gardening programs.
