Vista Lane Apartments is a two-phase affordable housing development in San Ysidro by MirKa Investments. Located at 3481–3509 Vista Lane, the development adds housing for low-income families, with access to public transit, local shopping, parks, and neighborhood services. Vista Lane I was completed in December 2025, followed by Vista Lane II in early 2026.

Due to being 100% affordable, Vista Lane Apartments was eligible for the Affordable Housing Permit Now Program. Signed in 2023 as an executive order by Mayor Todd Gloria, this program allows 100% affordable developments, supportive housing, and homeless shelters to have a streamlined 30 day permitting time limit, drastically shortening the wait time of a process that could otherwise take multiple months. This applies to building permits, engineering permits, and ministerial permits, such as those for grading.

Vista Lane I includes 167 apartments across a range of unit types: 15 studios, 35 one-bedroom units, 97 two-bedroom units, and 20 three-bedroom units. The mix provides options for individuals and families of different sizes. The development also includes accessible apartments, including units designed for residents with hearing or visual impairments. Vista Lane II adds another 100 apartments, including 15 units designated for residents with developmental disabilities. Together, the two phases expand affordable housing options in the neighborhood while serving households with different needs.

The development includes shared community spaces, two courtyards, a children’s playground, laundry facilities, and a community room. Additional amenities include on-site property management and internet access in common areas. These spaces are intended to support daily activities and give residents opportunities to connect with their neighbors.
