Colorado Park Apartments The seven-building 60-unit garden Colorado Park complex is located at 1141 Colorado Ave.

PALO ALTO, CA—Originally constructed in 1972, Colorado Park Apartments is an affordable residential rental community developed and redeveloped by Palo Alto Housing. The city of Palo Alto was also a partner in the original construction of the multifamily property. The seven-building, 60-unit garden walk-up complex is located at 1141 Colorado Ave.
