Homes & property types
A mix of older single-family houses, including bungalows, and multifamily buildings, with commercial centers along Valley Boulevard. Lots and building types change block to block.
What makes properties here different
With houses and apartments side by side, the right comparable sales depend on what is on your lot and how it is zoned under the plan. A house on a lot zoned for more units can draw a different buyer than the same house on a single-family lot, so confirm the zone first.
Living in the neighborhood
The plan names large commercial centers on Valley Boulevard, including San Gabriel Square and the Hawaii Market, that draw shoppers from across the region.
