Whittier is an eastern suburb of Los Angeles that offers a small-town feel, well-regarded schools and miles of scenic hiking trails. What it lacks in freeway access it certainly makes up for in local charm. In recent years, the city has experienced an uptick in development, delivering new construction homes from the $400,000s.
If you’re thinking about making the move to Whittier, check out these four brand new townhouse communities.
1. Bayberry at The Groves
Developer: Brookfield Residential California
Address: 11850 Whittier Boulevard
Priced from: low-$400,000s
Bayberry is a collection of two-story townhouses with one to three bedrooms and up to 1,741 square feet of living space. Choose from Spanish, Monterey or American Cottage-style homes, complete with porches, decks or patios for seamless indoor/outdoor living. The airy, open-concept kitchens feature white Shaker cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and contemporary tile backsplashes.
The development is part of The Groves master-planned community, offering resort-style amenities including a private recreation center inside a restored chapel, a refreshing outdoor swimming pool, fitness center, co-working lounge, play area and more. Prospective buyers can take video tours, virtual tours and Matterpoint tours of the six available Bayberry floorplans or visit the sales center in-person by making an appointment.
2. Il Borgo

Residents of Il Borgo will enjoy the use of the pristine outdoor pool, stylish clubhouse and landscaped grounds.
