City Ventures Launches Affordable Townhomes in La Habra Amid North Orange County Housing Crunch
Event summary
- City Ventures opens The Birchwoods, a collection of 3-story townhomes in La Habra, with prices starting at $700,000.
- The development features 1,360–1,606 sq. ft. homes with energy-efficient and smart-home features.
- La Habra's median home price is around $900,000, making The Birchwoods a below-market offering.
- City Ventures previously sold out its first La Habra community, Luna La Habra, indicating strong local demand.

City Ventures is addressing California's housing shortage by repurposing underutilized urban land into residential developments. With over 8,000 lots controlled statewide, the company is positioning itself as a key player in supplying affordable, eco-friendly homes in supply-constrained coastal and suburban areas.
