Plaza De Las Flores

HUD subsidized apartment complex (rent is only 30 percent of your income, like section 8), with a very pretty center area, but their waitlist is currently closed.
you need to get buzzed in to enter, there’s a keypad by the door where you can scroll through the names. there are frequently people at the front desk who can buzz you in, or you can wait for someone to walk by and let you in, if you can’t get ahold of whoever you are visiting. it is their preference that all visitors sign in and out at the front desk. a few times i’ve asked questions of the people at the desk, but i think they might be volunteers, as a couple of times they didn’t speak english. i frequently have seen janitors/​maintenance men walking around the front area.
this is a senior apartment complex. most of the residents appear to be asian. it’s a pretty busy place, with people coming in and going throughout the day.
there is a lounge area next to the front desk, with several couches, newspapers in several languages are often in this area. just past the lounge area is an entrance to a shady, tree and plant-​filled outdoor area, the building appears to be built in a square around it.
i had a client who lived here with a relative, but they had a great deal of trouble with their neighbors, who they called nosy and loud, even late at night. they lived across from the trash room, so they could always hear people constantly banging the lid on the trash bin. they were also annoyed by how many people would throw trash outside the bin on the floor. they felt the walls were too thin.
it is very wheelchair/​walker accessible. the location is centrally located in downtown sunnyvale. traffic is not very bad on this side street, but a few blocks over it can be busy and cars speed by.
i’ve never had trouble parking on the street during the day. i don’t believe there is a parking garage here. there is a large curved driveway by the entrance for pick-​up and drop-​off.
