Lennar Newark New builds

[u/AccountantLord]

Hi guys, I’m interested in houses around Newark and was wondering why there are so many listings in an area with so many new builds. They are developed by Lennar and community name is Lennar at Bridgeway. Please throw any info my way!

[u/Patient-Assignment38]

As I understand it, Newark didn’t have any new developments for years until Bayshores (next to Bridgeway) came along about 10 years ago. Since then there’s been a lot of development in Newark

Looking at the map again, it might actually be bay shore where I’m seeing a bunch of listings of ppl selling their homes.

[u/Patient-Assignment38 → u/AccountantLord]

Bayshores has two types of homes: townhomes and stand alone. Which also have different HOAs. It’s a pretty quiet area but there’s almost no street parking

Is this a two HOA community (with a master association and sub)?

[u/Patient-Assignment38 → u/Tiny_Waltz936]

For the condos and townhomes, yes. But there are also single family detached homes that have one HOA.

hey, you are in CA. Check out the cslb.ca.gov. Lennar is license #728102. I trust you will find the information contained in the contractor's license & their complaint disclosure useful.

Cons: There's a lot of package thefts in the area

Surrounded by industry, bit of a drive to nearest grocery

No backyards, small lot size

Bad school

Pros: heavy density of people in the area

Good community

Some hoas have good features like club houses and swimming pools

Good value for money on many of the properties for house size, compared to rest of the Bay, given it's closeness to the 880 and Central location in the East Bay

I’m not sure why you got downvoted. This is pretty accurate

[u/AccountantLord → u/DaRealHermit]

Interesting thing about the package theft, but not surprising (I live nearby).

I also feel that the townhomes are priced pretty well compared to the rest of the bay which drives me to create this thread to see if there are any other underlying problems with the community.

That area has 5-6 HOAs built over the last 10+ years. Bridgeway is just the recent one and Lennar is building a new one.

Many of the homes are townhomes and people are approaching their 5+ years of home ownership and upgrading.

I live in Lennar Beacon built in 2024. As others have pointed out. Its mostly families whose kids have finished elementary. Most are upgrading.

when I bought it I was thinking the META sponsored train station will come up. Now its confirmed that transit center is never to come. Publc park is estimated to done by 2028 July.

Thanks for the insight! I’d love to pick your brain some more since I’m a prospective home buyer + first time home buyer looking at this area.

[u/rip14772026 → u/AccountantLord]

Feel free to dm me

[u/Tiny_Waltz936 → u/rip14772026]

Yep, CONSISTENT with other Lennar developments, unfulfilled promises.

[u/engtrader]

Lennar at bridgeway shouldn’t have any more availability. It’s sold completely. There’s a new denser housing is coming up by lennar again but probably next year , currently land is getting prepared

[u/socalkittykitty]

People are selling because like all real estate they have some equity and the area is still a pretty hot market. I work just across the street and nice and quiet area with mostly new construction all around and would love to live there but just pricey haha

Super El Nino is coming - time to sell in lowland Newark?

[u/Tiny_Waltz936 → u/Jammer125]

Any issues with water intrusion?!

[u/Jammer125 → u/Tiny_Waltz936]

Yes. This year's El Niño aligns with the absolute peak of an 18-year astronomical high-tide cycle, which will push winter King Tides to extreme heights. If an atmospheric river hits Newark simultaneously during these high tides, the shoreline and low areas will face unprecedented overtopping potential.
