Getting a foot on the property ladder is no easy feat in Southern California. Fortunately, remote work has allowed many first-time buyers to expand their home search radius to more affordable markets, particularly those in the Inland Empire.
Ontario, a city of approximately 165,000, offers a number of new townhouse developments for buyers with a budget of less than $500,000. Known for its abundance of hiking trails, craft breweries and olive groves, this growing community has a promising future ahead of it. Here we’ve rounded up four new construction projects in master-planned communities, complete with resort-style amenities.
1. Eave

Showcasing a mid-century modern aesthetic, Eave is a collection of one- to three-bedroom courtyard townhomes. The 949 to 1,510-square-foot floorplans are efficiently designed with one- or two-bay garages, island kitchens, private outdoor spaces, and primary bedrooms with walk-in closets and ensuite bathrooms.
All residences are equipped with high-tech features like HomeKit, Apple’s smart home system, doorbell cameras, and smart door locks, thermostats and garage door openers.

In addition to the Rec Center, Neuhouse boasts a tranquil park with large grassy areas, a walking path, comfortable benches and a children’s playground. Once complete, this community hub will be the perfect spot for picnics, playdates and games of fetch.

Beyond its extensive amenity offerings, Canvas Park has an onsite shopping center called New Haven Marketplace. Here, you can shop for groceries at Stater Bros. Market, perfect your crane pose at YogaSIX, take your pooch for a check-up at New Haven Animal Hospital, or pick up dinner from Pio Pico’s Tacos. Even more restaurants and businesses are arriving this summer, like Brew Haven Brewery, Okami Ramen and Primal Cuts.
