    New Apartments in Downtown/Midtown Sacramento Welcome to Esperanza, a brand-new apartment community offering modern, attainable living in the heart of Downtown Sacramento. Opening in November 2026, Esperanza will feature studios, traditional one-bedroom apartments, one-bedroom lofts, and a limited collection of two-bedroom lofts. Each residence features modern finishes, an open-concept layout, energy-efficient appliances, an in-unit washer and dryer, and abundant natural light. All lofts include dramatic high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, while select lofts also offer private balconies and expansive window walls. Community amenities complement an active downtown lifestyle, with Sacramento's restaurants, entertainment, major employers, public transportation, Golden 1 Center, and the State Capitol just minutes away. Esperanza offers income-qualified apartments with pricing based on household income. The rental prices listed below apply to qualifying households earning at or below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI). Households earning above 80% and up to 120% of AMI may also qualify at adjusted rental rates. Eligibility will be verified during the application process. Join our free interest list for leasing updates, floor plans, pricing, and tour announcements. Those ready to take the next step may submit a rental application for $35. Approved applicants receive early access to virtual or on-site hard-hat tours. Because Esperanza remains under construction, applications must be reviewed and approved before an on-site tour can be scheduled. During the tour, approved applicants can view available apartments and select the home they would like to reserve. Contact our leasing team for availability, qualification requirements, and application details.
