Sunnyvale neighborhood boxed in by multiple affordable housing developments

ANOTHER AFFORDABLE HOUSING development is planned for downtown Sunnyvale, but some neighbors are feeling claustrophobic.

Sunnyvale is planning for 126 affordable apartments at 295 S. Mathilda Ave. on a 1.04-acre city-owned site, developed by MidPen Housing. The site is adjacent to multiple new developments like the Meridian and downtown Cityline’s various apartments. Some nearby residents in a single-family neighborhood are not on board and have complained about parking and litter from the increasing density.
