Mountain House, CA
San Joaquin County’s New Urbanist planned community, Mountain House, is located 5 miles from the exurban city of Tracy, centrally located to most of the top attractions of North California. Mountain House is a community-in-progress, triangulated by the major interstates of 580, 205 and 5, making our city “close to everything but away from it all”. Mountain House is a prosperous commuter town located convenient to Sacramento, San Francisco and the Bay Area, the Bay Delta, Yosemite, Tahoe and San Jose, with under an hour’s drive to each major metropolitan area. Los Angeles is a scenic day trip’s distance from Mountain House, adding yet another major metropolitan destination convenient to our suburban hamlet. Mountain House, a development venture of Trimark Communities, is projected to reach the status of a full-fledged city over a 30 year period, and will be organized into 12 neighborhoods spanning nearly 5,000 acres. As a New Urbanist development project, the community will be zoned for mixed-use between commercial and residential, creating over 20,000 onsite jobs. With business parks, shopping centers, service facilities and schools, Mountain House, upon completion, will be a completely self-sufficient community. At present, four of the 12 planned neighborhoods have reached completion: Wicklund, Bethany, Altamont and Questa. Mountain House, though still under development, attracts many new residents who seek affordable alternatives to Bay Area home prices, a quieter lifestyle and tight-knit sense of community. Families are drawn to the high-ranked Lammersville Joint Unified School District and Tracy Unified School District schools, as well as Mountain House’s modern take on the traditional sense of neighborhood. Retirees, students and young professionals enjoy the convenient commute, affordable lifestyle, educational and career opportunities available without the stress and expense of city living, making Mountain House an ideal choice for new residents from all walks of life. There are 18 public parks planned for the Mountain House community, six of which are completed: Wicklund, Bethany, Altamont, Questa and the larger Central Park and Mountain House Creek Recreation Park. Neighboring City of Tracy’s Park System offers access to over 252 acres of developed park and open space areas; our mild climate makes outdoor activities enjoyable year-round. Mountain House residents can also enjoy the beauty of California’s natural lands at any number of state and national parks, where biking, trail riding, hiking, fishing, motorsports and windsailing are popular activities. Caswell Memorial State Park, Carnegie State Vehicular Recreation Area, Bethany Reservoir State Recreation Area, John Muir National Historic Site, San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, Fort Point National Historic Site, Eugene O'Neill National Historic Site, Alcatraz Island , Juan Bautista De Anza National Historic Trail, Port Chicago Naval Magazine National Memorial, Presidio of San Francisco, Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park, Golden Gate National Recreation Area are all within an hour’s drive from Mountain House, as well as Old Sacramento and Yosemite. Grand Theatre Center for the Arts in Tracy schedules cultural, theatrical and musical performances year-round as a local arts connection, while our proximity to other major metropolitan cities offers residents a wealth of artistic and cultural exhibitions and performances to choose from. The community of Mountain House fuses a forward-thinking approach to urbanism that incorporates tradition and civic pride into our residents’ sense of community. The Mountain House lifestyle affords our neighbors the best of both worlds: a cosmopolitan attitude and small-town values.
