Magnolia Villas: Santa Monica Senior Affordable Housing Waitlist & Application Guide
EAH Housing currently marks Magnolia Villas' one-bedroom waitlist open and says applications are being accepted through the City of Santa Monica. The 40-home community serves adults age 62 and older, while vacancy status is updated monthly and remains subject to change.
What to know first
STATUS: WAITLIST OPEN / APPLICATIONS ACCEPTED — A UNIT OFFER IS NOT GUARANTEED. EAH Housing currently marks Magnolia Villas' one-bedroom waitlist Open and says applications are being accepted through the City of Santa Monica. EAH also says vacancy status is updated monthly and subject to change. Open House Rentals does not determine senior, income or program eligibility, waitlist priority, vacancy, applicant ranking or selection.
What is verified right now
EAH Housing's current Magnolia Villas property page identifies the Santa Monica community as Senior Housing for adults age 62 and older and marks the one-bedroom type Waitlist Open. The operator says the property has 40 apartments: 39 one-bedroom homes plus one two-bedroom manager unit.
EAH also states that vacancy status is updated monthly and subject to change. That means the operator's current property page should be rechecked immediately before applying or relying on an older search result, flyer or social post.
Use the City of Santa Monica application path
EAH currently says it is accepting applications and directs applicants to apply online through the City of Santa Monica. The City's current Affordable Housing page provides the official Below Market Housing waitlist application path and program information.
Start from the current EAH Magnolia Villas page and the City housing page rather than a copied form, text-message link or third-party listing. Before sharing identity, income, asset or other sensitive records, confirm that the destination is an authorized City or property-management channel.
What Waitlist Open means—and what it does not
A waitlist opening means an authorized process is accepting or maintaining applicant interest; it is not proof that a one-bedroom apartment is vacant today. It also does not promise a particular waitlist position, rent, move-in date, subsidy, interview or final offer.
The City explains that Below Market Housing opportunities are handled through its waitlist system. Applicants should follow the current City and property instructions for eligibility, priority and documentation rather than treating an OHR discovery page as an approval or placement notice.
Who the property is designed to serve
EAH describes Magnolia Villas as affordable housing for qualified low-income seniors age 62 and older. The property page identifies the building at 1445 10th Street, Santa Monica, California 90401.
Program eligibility is household-specific. Open House Rentals cannot determine whether a household meets current age, income, asset, occupancy or local-priority rules. Use the current City and operator materials for those determinations and keep a dated copy of any submitted application confirmation.
Protect yourself during the application process
A legitimate affordable-housing property can still be used in impersonation scams. Do not pay a third party for a claimed guaranteed waitlist position, priority number or immediate apartment. Verify later document or payment requests through the current operator or City contact path before responding.
A map confirms where the property is located; it does not establish vacancy, eligibility or selection. If the waitlist status changes, this same canonical should be updated instead of creating new bedroom, senior, Santa Monica or date variants.

Verified status on this review: EAH Housing marks Magnolia Villas' one-bedroom waitlist Open, says applications are being accepted through the City of Santa Monica and states that vacancy status is updated monthly and subject to change. The City currently provides an Affordable Housing page with the Below Market Housing waitlist application path.
Update this same canonical when EAH or the City materially changes application, waitlist, vacancy or eligibility-process status. Do not interpret an open waitlist as a guaranteed apartment or selection outcome.
