Expanding Housing Opportunities
Access to attainable housing remains a significant challenge in recruiting and retaining Cal Poly faculty and staff. Studies indicate a demand for more than 1,000 housing units to support the campus community. In collaboration with university stakeholders, Cal Poly Partners is working to expand housing options through a combination of rental and ownership opportunities that support current and future employees.
Harvest Lofts
The newly constructed Harvest Lofts offer an ideal location for Cal Poly faculty and staff, just 4 miles south of the main Cal Poly campus. This prime location ensures quick and easy access to the university while being nestled in the serene, thoughtfully designed community of San Luis Ranch.
Purchase Options
Bella Montaña
Completed in 2006, Bella Montaña’s 69 units are available to faculty and staff for 50%-60% of current market value. Conveniently located near the Cal Poly campus at the northwest corner of Highland Drive and North Santa Rosa Street.
Vista Meadows
This neighborhood on the corner of the Grand Avenue entrance to campus broke ground in spring 2024. The single family units are in the design phase and are scheduled to be complete in 2026.

Mortgage Assistance Program
To further help Cal Poly community members purchase a home within Cal Poly Partner developed communities, Cal Poly Partners launched a Mortgage Assistance Program that includes, among many features, no down payment or Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) requirement.
The mechanics of the program involve home buyers obtaining a first and second mortgage upon purchase of the home. The first mortgage would be 80% of the purchase price; the second mortgage would be 20% of the purchase price. Cal Poly Partners would provide an unconditional guaranty on the second mortgage, which would allow SESLOC to waive any PMI requirements.
