Birch Hills defies what most people envision when they hear affordable housing. The Spanish-inspired architecture integrates seamlessly with the aesthetic fabric of the surrounding economically affluent Brea neighborhoods. Birch Hills is located within the new La Floresta master-planned community being developed by Birch /Kraemer, LLC, an affiliate of Chevron Land and Development and provides much-needed housing in a community with more jobs than affordable housing.
An urban infill property, Birch Hills sits adjacent to an Brea's 18-hole executive golf course in an upscale community that is the result of a public/private partnership with the City of Brea and Chevron Land and Development. In step with Jamboree's ongoing commitment to sustainability, award-winning Birch Hills is LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for Homes Platinum certified, the highest rating.The walkable community is conveniently located near The Tracks at Brea, an innovative walking trail that promotes a healthy, active lifestyle.
Birch Hills is a walkable community near major retail, parks, community services such as the Brea Senior Center, schools and robust employment centers. The site plan, quality architecture, and array of amenities/features combine to make Birch Hills a highly livable, urban neighborhood that offers a healthy, socially active, contemporary living environment.
Because Birch Hills Apartments participates in HUD's HOME program for rental housing and the LIHTC program, at least some of the units in this property are set aside for households earning 60% or less of the AMI and rents are capped at the local FMR and in many cases much lower. For a HOME project of this size, some of the units are set aside for households at or below 50% AMI with a corresponding lower rent cap. As this property appears not to have a project-based subsidy or any other Federal assistance, you likely will have to pay your own rent, albeit, at a lower rent amount thanks to the HOME and LIHTC programs. Since this property participates in the HOME and LIHTC programs, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
