Buena Vista Mobile Home Park

Property Description

Buena Vista Mobile Home Park is a historic housing community in the City of Palo Alto with roots dating back to the 1920s, when it was originally established as an “auto camp.” By the 1950s, the community had evolved into a mobile home park, providing utility connections and long-term housing opportunities for residents.

Since acquiring the property in 2017, the City of Palo Alto, County of Santa Clara, and the Housing Authority have worked collaboratively to preserve this unique community, prevent the displacement of Buena Vista families, and invest in meaningful improvements that enhance living conditions while maintaining long-term housing stability.

Today, Buena Vista remains an important part of Palo Alto’s housing landscape, a community grounded in history, resilience, and a shared commitment to keeping residents rooted in place.
