LA MIRADA, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 2, 2013) - Brandywine Homes, one of Southern California's most successful infill developers and homebuilders, will start construction this month on The Orchards, a 42-home community on the site of the former Alondra Center.
The two-story homes, which range from approximately 1,300 to 2,000 square feet, will begin pre-selling in June when the new home models are scheduled to open. Located on Alondra Blvd. east of Escalona Road, the community is expected to close out by the summer of 2014.
"The La Mirada market is extremely underserved," said Dave Barisic, vice president of sales and marketing for Brandywine. "There hasn't been any new residential construction in this market in over a decade. We believe the demand will be high for these new homes."
The 42 Craftsman-style homes will offer three or four bedrooms, two and one-half to three and one-half bathrooms, two-car attached garages and will feature private fenced rear yards. The homes will be priced at approximately $500,000 and six of the smaller homes will be deemed affordable for purchase by moderate-income buyers starting in the high $200,000s.
The La Mirada market was listed in Money Magazine's "Best Places to Live" list and is known for the popular La Mirada Theater for the Performing Arts and is home to its own water park called The Splash.
Back in 2009, Brandywine Homes entered into an agreement to purchase the former strip mall site, which was demolished in 2008, in an effort to revitalize this area under terms of a development deal between the homebuilder and the city of La Mirada.
