PGA Golf - California City, CA


Central to the City is Tierra Del Sol PGA Golf Course. This highly rated 18-hole course lies generally east of the Civic Center and spans from North Loop to South Loop Boulevards. There are single-family homes and condominiums at various places along the course's perimeter, and newer developments will be taking further advantage of the stunning views.

AltaOne - California City, CA


The AltaOne commercial center is now visibly under way. The grading and groundwork have been going on for months, but to the average passersby it was difficult to tell just what was happening there. Now there are not only defined building pads, but the first vertical steel has been erected, now offering some definition for the mind's eye.

This project is located on the north side of California City Blvd., just east of the public library.

Antelope Valley Gateway - Mojave, CA


The City of Mojave lies in the northern end of the Antelope Valley, north of Los Angeles. Located squarely at the intersection of two major state highways, 14 and 58, this town has been a transportation hub of various sorts for over 100 years. It was the terminal end of the 165 mile 20 mule team borax wagon route from Death Valley; later it was a primary construction camp for the construction of the Southern Pacific Railroad.

Nowadays we are seeing a rebirth of this area in yet another generation of transportation, the world of aerospace. The Mojave Airport/Spaceport is home for many who are seeking to bring civilian space travel within reach of us all, including SpaceShipOne builder and X-Prize winner, Scaled Composites.

About ten miles southwest of California City, Mojave is within a short driving distance of Edwards Air Force Base (NASA's backup for Space Shuttle landings), Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Boeing.

Boom town - California City, CA


It's fitting that the first photo in our Landrush! blog depicts a hydraulic boom placing an entire roof on the garage of a new home. California City, California is truly Boom Town! It's also true that you can't drive more than a block or two within the main part of the City without seeing numerous buildings under construction.

What this means to us is that there is plenty of momentum in the local economy, and developers are thriving on the potential. Being in CC frequently, I see the whole chain of events from the groundbreakings to the SOLD signs on the finished structures. I feel good that in many cases we played our part by identifying these properties and bringing them into the marketplace for speculators, builders and home buyers.
