Homes in the walkable Oak Walk start in the $600,000s.

The Olson Company is open for sales at Oak Walk, a group of 50 contemporary, new townhomes located in Los Alamitos, California.

As with all Olson homes built in Southern California, Oak Walk will place its residents in the heart of the community. Restaurants, retail, and recreation opportunities are all nearby in a walkable distance, with easy access to the 405, 605, and 22 freeways, making the homes ideal for commuters. Residing in Oak Walk also means access to the award-winning Los Alamitos Unified School District. Oak Walk townhomes will range from 2-4 beds, 2.5-3.5 baths, 1,295-2,188 square feet, and are attractively priced starting in the $600,000s.

The land was originally owned by Cottonwood Church, which outgrew its facility and was able to sell the property and move to a much larger campus. In developing Oak Walk, The Olson Company committed itself to extensive environmental remediation.

In an effort to beautify the City's streets of Cerritos and Gateway, as well as encourage the development of the underutilized religious facility and vacant property, the City updated its General Plan to allow for housing, paving the way for Olson to establish their newest residential community, Oak Walk.

Other large-scale improvements to the area brought forth by the City include pedestrian and parking improvements along Coyote Creek, landscape and median improvements along Los Alamitos Blvd. to make for a more pedestrian-friendly environment, upgraded office facilities along Katella Ave. and a new hotel on Los Alamitos Blvd.

Oak Walk will be the seventh new home community built in Los Alamitos by The Olson Company and is the only new home development in the city in recent years. Sausalito Walk, Olson's sixth new home community in the city, opened in 2013 and quickly sold out.
