Where new homes are being built in Huntington Beach
Huntington Beach is almost fully built out, so new homes come as small infill projects rather than master-planned tracts. The Census Bureau estimates that only 0.3% of the city's homes were built in 2020 or later, and 5.2% from 2010 to 2019; 62.8% date from the 1960s and 1970s (ACS 2020-2024). The new for-sale homes on the city's Major Projects list are townhomes and condos on sites from under one acre to about six acres, including sites on Edinger Avenue, Beach Boulevard and Main Street, plus a few small single-family subdivisions.
That pipeline may grow. The city's 2021-2029 Housing Element puts its state-assigned housing need at 13,368 homes and identifies 378 candidate housing sites covering about 419 acres. The city notes that it must plan and zone for those homes, not build them, so the number is a ceiling for planning, not a forecast of construction. Much of what is under way now is rental apartments, which add supply but not homes to buy.
New home communities in Huntington Beach
Statuses below are as the city's Major Projects pages showed them when we checked on October 30, 2026; the city last updated most of them in 2025. Builders' sales status can be ahead of the city's page, so call before you visit.
Coastlands by Bonanni Development (35 townhomes, sold out)
Coastlands is a community of 35 solar-powered townhomes by Bonanni Development, which describes itself as a Huntington Beach-based builder. Plans have two or three bedrooms and 2.5 baths, up to 1,920 square feet, with a two-car side-by-side garage; the Plan 2A layout is 1,300 square feet with a den. Some plans have rooftop decks, and the shared space includes a fire pit, grill and covered patio. Coastlands' site gives its address as 19070 Holly Lane, the city's Holly Triangle Townhomes project: 35 attached three-story townhomes, with 15% priced for moderate-income buyers, still listed by the city as under construction. The builder's site now says Coastlands is sold out, so homes here will come up only as resales; it never published prices or HOA dues.
The Isles by Landsea Homes (townhomes, Edinger Avenue)
The city lists The Isles as a 130-unit townhome project on about 5.6 acres at 7225 Edinger Avenue, about 200 feet west of Gothard Street, by Landsea Homes. Its status on the city page is under construction. It sits in the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan, which moved the 130 units' allowance from the Beach corridor to the Edinger corridor. The builder's website refused our automated request, so we could not confirm the current marketing name, plans or prices; check with the builder directly.
Pearce Drive Condos (condos, 92649)
Harbour Cove, LLC has applied to build 18 three-story condominium homes on one lot at 4861 Pearce Drive. The city lists the project as in planning, so there is nothing to buy yet.
Garfield Residential (single-family, 8341 Garfield Avenue)
This is one of the few new detached-home projects: 10 single-family homes on a 2.4-acre site, approved by the Planning Commission on February 14, 2023. The city still lists it as in planning.
Windward (for-sale homes, Bolsa Chica Street)
Signal Landmark proposed 36 for-sale homes on a 2.5-acre site at 17202 Bolsa Chica Street, south of Los Patos Avenue, in the coastal zone. The Coastal Commission certified the land use plan and specific plan in December 2018, but a Coastal Development Permit is still needed before construction. Status: planning.
Magnolia Tank Farm (mixed use with 250 homes)
Shopoff Realty Investments plans a lodge, retail, park land and 250 dwelling units at the former Magnolia tank farm. The City Council certified the environmental report in January 2021, and the Coastal Commission certified the coastal plan amendment in December 2024, allowing both for-sale and rental homes and requiring at least 20% affordable units. Status: planning. No sales date has been announced.
Midway Concepts Mixed Use (15 homes, Beach Boulevard at Speer Drive)
A four-story building with 1,000 square feet of commercial space and 15 homes on the upper floors at 7942 Speer Drive, in the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan. Status: planning. The city page does not say whether the homes will be sold or rented.
Recently finished for-sale projects
These are complete, so any homes for sale now are resales, but they are the newest owner homes in the city: Gisler Residential by Brookfield Residential, 85 single-family homes on 13.9 acres on Strathmoor Lane; Olson Residential, 34 two- and three-story townhomes at Talbert Avenue and Newland Street; Georgia Townhomes, 18 homes at 910 Georgia Street; Cameron Lane Townhomes, 18 homes at 17532 Cameron Lane; and the Main Street Mixed-Use building at 414-424 Main Street, with 20 condominiums over shops.
New rental apartments in the pipeline
Two large projects add rentals, not homes to buy: Holland Partner Group's 346-unit, five-story apartment community south of Main Street between Delaware and Florida Streets (under construction), and a seven-story, 300-apartment project proposed at Bella Terra on Edinger Avenue (in plan check).

Mello-Roos and HOA fees on new Huntington Beach homes
New townhomes and condos almost always come with an HOA, and its dues pay for the shared roof, insurance, landscaping and reserves. Ask for the HOA budget and reserve study with the purchase contract. Whether a project carries a Mello-Roos special tax depends on how its infrastructure was financed, and none of the city pages we read mention one for these projects, so ask the builder for the tax bill estimate and look for special assessments on the property tax bill of a similar home. Base property tax in the Huntington Beach tax rate areas we checked in Orange County's 2026-27 rate book is 1.09311% to 1.10101% of assessed value. See our Mello-Roos guide, the Orange County property tax guide and the California HOA law guide.
New vs resale homes in Huntington Beach: what costs more
Because builders here did not publish prices, compare a builder's quote with recent resales of the same type. Redfin's townhouse medians for the three months to September 2026 were $1,235,002 in 92648, $1,355,002 in 92649 and $1,089,992 in 92647, and condo medians ran from $512,485 in 92647 to $896,973 in 92648. Those are older homes, typically 1970s and 1980s. A new townhome should sell above them; the question is whether solar, a new roof, modern wiring and a warranty are worth the gap to you. Also compare the HOA dues, which on a new project are set by the builder's first budget and can rise once the HOA takes over. Citywide, Zillow's typical home value was $1,344,725 in September 2026.
Inspections and warranties on new construction
Get your own inspection even on a brand-new home, ideally once before drywall if the builder allows it and again before closing. City building inspections check code compliance, not workmanship. Read the builder's warranty: what it covers, for how long, and how to file a claim. In the coastal zone, ask whether the Coastal Commission's permit adds conditions, such as limits on future additions, that pass to buyers. Check the parcel on FEMA's flood maps and the state's tsunami maps, since some of the sites above are near wetlands and the coast.
Buying a new home in Huntington Beach with a local agent
You can usually bring your own agent to a builder's sales office, but many builders require the agent to register you on your first visit, so bring them or call ahead. Your agent can compare the builder's price and incentives with resales nearby and review the HOA documents and purchase contract, which are written by the builder. Since 2024, buyers sign a written agreement with their agent that sets the agent's pay; see our guide to California commissions.
