January 13, 2010 – Boston Capital invested in Vintage Oaks Senior Apartments, a 241-unit multifamily
development for seniors located in Citrus Heights, CA. The general partner is USA Properties Fund, Inc.,
headquartered in Roseville, CA.
"Boston Capital is pleased to once again partner with USA Properties Fund in the creation of "green",
affordable multifamily housing for seniors," said Jeff Goldstein, chief operating officer and director of Real
Estate at Boston Capital. "The emphasis on energy efficiency is indicative of Boston Capital's dedication to
sustainable development while expanding the options available to seniors with low to moderate incomes."
Vintage Oaks Senior Apartments includes 192 one-bedroom and 49 two-bedroom units in 18 one and two-
story buildings. Units are available to tenants aged 55 or older with incomes at or below 60 percent of the
