LOS ANGELES-MBK Homes has broken ground on Vineland Metro, a community in North Hollywood with 27 detached, cottage-style for-sale homes. The individual homes will go on the market in February 2014, and residents can begin to take occupancy upon completion, estimated in Q2 of 2014.

The complex offers three floor plan options, ranging in size from 1,628 square feet to 1,920 square feet. Units have up to five bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms and include attached two-car garages, echoing suburban-style living. Onsite amenities offer luxury appeal with stainless steel and granite gourmet kitchen, energy-efficient windows and water heaters and walk-in closets. Prices for the homes start at $400,000.

“We are excited to begin construction at Vineland Metro and for the opportunity to introduce a completely new type of housing option to North Hollywood,” says Rick Fletcher, MBK Homes VP of sales and marketing. “It's been an enjoyable process working with the City of Los Angeles to bring this community to life. We hope it is the first of many new communities to come in the area.”
