USA Properties has started construction on Terracina at Whitney Ranch, an affordable apartment community in Rocklin. Located between University Avenue and Wildcat Boulevard, the project will provide affordable one-to three-bedroom apartments to residents, from early-in-their career teachers and hard-working couples with children saving for their first home, to retirees living on a fixed-income.

The Rocklin City Council approved the residential project in August 2021.

“Terracina at Whitney Ranch is an important addition to our community, providing working families a new opportunity to live in Rocklin at more affordable rental rates,” said Rocklin Mayor Bill Halldin. “I’m hopeful that many young people who have grown up in town will have a chance to remain here with housing opportunities like Terracina.”

The 288 apartments will be significantly less than nearby market-rate apartments and are reserved for residents who earn 30% to 70% of the average median income for Placer County – about $21,750 to $50,750 per year for a two-person household.

One-bedroom apartment rents are projected to be $515 to $1,275 per month. Two-bedroom apartments will lease for about $606 to $1,518, while three-bedroom units will rent for about $687 to $1,741. Rents could be slightly higher when Terracina at Whitney Ranch is completed in late 2024.
