New Homes In Loomis

The following are the project that are planned for Loomis. Some will occure in two years others may take up to 5 years to do. All these are in the current General Plan. That is the reason I felt it was not necessary to update the General Plan at this time. Here are some of the projects:

Monserat 60 5 acre homes on BArton Road

Orchard Place 50 homes on Taylor Road at the Alice Fruit Stand

Taylor Road by KOA campground 50 homes plus 10 carriage houses

End of Walnut 50 homes

Behind RAley's 200-250 homes

Dunsomore Development 40 homes off Humphrey by No Name

So in the next 5 years or so Loomis will add around 450 homes if the housing market here remains good. These homes are for the most part all i nthe downtown core or are 5 acre parcels. This will maintain the nature of Loomis and give us a live downtown
