While Summerland Signal Hill will officially open to the public on Saturday, May 1st, three of the 16 solar-equipped single-family homes already are under contract. The Grand Opening event, with complimentary coffee from neighbor and local favorite Black Dog Coffee Roasters, is from 10 am to 6 pm. RSVP by making an appointment here.

Priced from the low-$800,000s, the collection of all-electric single-family homes is currently under construction on 23rd Street, east of Orange Avenue in sought-after Signal Hill.

The Model Home is now open, allowing visitors to imagine what life could be like in Summerland’s 1,630-square-foot, three-bedroom residences. Stepping through the front door, painted a coastal cerulean blue, you’re greeted by a spacious living room with large windows and wood-look flooring. There’s a convenient powder room for guest use and an elegant staircase with plenty of wall space for displaying family photos.

Appointed with durable quartz countertops and Shaker-style cabinets, the gourmet kitchen is designed in an L-shape with a peninsula that provides breakfast bar seating for four. An eye-catching tile backsplash is paired with chrome hardware and a matching gooseneck faucet. The Samsung stainless steel appliance package includes a free-standing electric range with five burners, a built-in microwave/hood combination, and a built-in quiet dishwasher with integrated digital touch controls.

The adjacent dining area can easily accommodate a six-seater table and offers a walkout to the private outdoor space. This open-air retreat is primed for entertaining, with select residences offering privacy walls and views of the Long Beach skyline.

At the top of the stairs, a flex space provides the perfect nook for a desk or art easel. On this floor, there are two good-sized secondary bedrooms that share a bathroom with a double vanity, bathtub/shower combination and a toilet. A door separating the vanity from the rest of the bathroom makes morning routines less stressful, while the nearby laundry room prevents homeowners from having to lug their hampers up and down the stairs.

The luxurious master suite boasts a walk-in closet and enough space for a small sitting area. The ensuite bathroom features a quartz-topped double vanity with a four-inch backsplash, a generous shower with a semi-frameless glass enclosure, surface-mount LED lighting over a full-width mirror, and a separated toilet with an elongated bowl.

Each Modern Farmhouse-inspired home touts a two-car garage with direct interior access and smart tech features including a Ring video doorbell, Honeywell programmable smart thermostat, media outlets, a WiFi-enabled garage door opener, and a Ubiquiti wireless access point for enhanced connectivity. Among the energy-saving features are a 2.17-kilowatt solar system, pre-wiring for an electric vehicle charging station, dual-glazed low-E vinyl windows, a hybrid electric water heater, efficient forced-air heating, low-flow plumbing fixtures, and environmentally-friendly engineered lumber products.

Homebuyers can personalize their residences through a variety of upgrades, including appliances, cabinet colors, countertops, flooring, recessed lighting, window coverings and more. These options are available based on the construction schedule, so purchasers are encouraged to speak to a sales agent for the latest information.

Summerland is located in picturesque Signal Hill, offering a tight-knit community feel with urban amenities just minutes away in Downtown Long Beach. Close to home, future residents will benefit from local schools, organic grocers like Mother’s Market & Kitchen, and beautiful greenspaces including Hilltop Park, which provides sweeping city views, picnic areas and walking paths.
