Megan Rodriguez Antone, director of community relations and marketing for Ca?ada College, lived at the Ca?ada Vista for almost five years before saving enough money to buy a home in Castro Valley in 2020. She and her husband were on the waiting list for the below-market-rate housing complex for a little under a year.

"I wouldn't have been able to save money at the rate I did without the savings living at Ca?ada Vista," she said. She estimates they saved about $1,000 a month. "Now that I'm commuting I really miss living close. ... It was a seven-minute walk from my apartment door to my office door. ... I had the opportunity to get to know other colleagues from other colleges; you see them when walking your dog."

The college district doesn't track which employees who had lived in the rental housing have since bought homes, according to district spokeswoman Ana Maria Pulido.

As part of the agreement between Woodside and Redwood City, 24 of the 65 housing units required to be built in Woodside between 2007 and 2014 through the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) process were transferred to Redwood City's allocation. Under the agreement, Woodside's RHNA number was reduced from 65 to 41 and Redwood City's number was increased from 1,832 to 1,856.
