Brandywine Homes marked the start of construction on The Orchards housing development with a groundbreaking ceremony on Tuesday. The new residential development on Alondra Blvd. will include 41 single family homes.
“We are very excited about the enhancements this new neighborhood will bring to our community,” said Mayor Steve De Ruse.
“Brandywine has a record of building quality neighborhoods throughout our region, and I’m certain The Orchards project will meet these high standards,” De Ruse added. “This neighborhood will be an important addition to the supply of quality and attractive homes in La Mirada.”
The two-story, Craftsman-style homes will range from approximately 1,300 to 2,000 square feet. Each home 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. A new decorative block wall, perimeter landscaping, and street and sidewalk improvements will also be completed as part of the project. Four model homes will open in mid-November.
“La Mirada is an excellent place to live and raise a family, and these homes will be fine addition to our community,” said City Manager Tom Robinson.
