The street level stop was incorporated into the system to serve an apartment complex of the same name. On the opposite side of the street, a variety of residences were within walking distance.

Martin Villa was one of eleven stops closed on June 25, 2012 as part of a system-wide consolidation effort.^[1]

History

The stop dated back to the PCC streetcar era, being at the transition between center street and off street reserved right of way.^[2]
