Mill Creek Breaks Ground on 323-Unit Multifamily in San Diego’s North County

Mill Creek Residential has broken ground on Modera Melrose, a mixed-use, garden-style apartment community located on the border of Oceanside and Vista in San Diego’s North County. Situated at 5011-5061 Oceanside Blvd. at the intersection of Melrose Drive, the community will feature 323 apartment homes and 2,100 square feet of retail space. First move-ins at Modera Melrose are anticipated for late summer 2026.

“We’ve always admired the North San Diego County area, which is one of the greatest places to live in the country with its proximity to premier southern California beaches and year-round outdoor amenities,” said John Colletti, senior managing director of development in Southern California for Mill Creek. “We’re eager to get started on Modera Melrose, which will put residents within reach of everything the area has to offer.”

Modera Melrose is located along the Inland Rail Trail, a 21-mile Class I bikeway. The community also sits adjacent to the Melrose Drive station, providing quick connectivity.
