Live the Lifestyle

We create housing in the right place, at the right price for people to live a healthier lifestyle. Things like grandma's pasta dinner on Sundays. Shorter commutes. Bikes instead of cars.

These aren't just nice-to-have, they're the ingredients to a long, happy and healthy life.

What People Are Saying

  • “New Avenue has been a joy to work with and we couldn't be happier with the incredible result. Our experience with the New Avenue architect, contractor, as well as New Avenue management has been fantastic from start to finish.

    We knew that New Avenue were the experts in this area—plus they came highly recommended from friends who had worked with them. We ended up with a gorgeously designed and built one-bedroom house that anyone would be thrilled to live in.

    And it came in on budget. And as quickly as could be expected considering the COVID supply issues… our team was communicative, friendly, and affordable. ”

    – Jenn G.
    Accessory Dwelling Unit

  • “Working with New Avenue has been a huge help to us in that our designer and builder are both extremely vetted and we don’t worry for a second about their respective experience and expertise. I take a lot of comfort in knowing I’m working with people and a system, combined, that are going to be transparent and consistent—informed by lots of data—and keep the surprises to a bare minimum.

    It’s a LOT of trust to literally tear your home up with someone, and while I can’t say it’s as cheap as piecing everything together yourself if you have the time for that (and manage to get good people), I’m very happy with the trade-offs that leave us feeling very confident in our bids and schedules.”

    – Lucas and T.R.

  • “Thank you very much for getting the project across the goal line together. You have done a fantastic job and we couldn’t be happier. The team at New Avenue really came through for us on a tricky project. We had no experience with renovation projects. I definitely recommend working with New Avenue and will be requesting their services for the next project!”

    – Robert K.

    San Rafael, CA

  • “From the start New Avenue Homes made my life easier, helping to understand city permitting and inspection needs while being a great crew and managing the sub-contractors effectively. We rehabbed an old Victorian in Oakland that needed a lot of love. Not only did we rehab the house, we were able to add an ADU and a garage—for a great return on initial investment.”

    – Mary R.

  • “My husband and I are really happy with New Avenue. The team did an incredible job building a backyard music studio on our property in San Francisco as well as transforming an underutilized space into a laundry room. The team was professional, and they moved very quickly to complete the job. We found the prices competitive.”

    - Sara B.

  • “My cottage is like being in paradise. I love it. It’s very spacious. The thing I really like the most is being close to my grandchild and being able to watch her grow up. They can help me when I need it and I can help them when they need it. Economically, with home prices being so high, we combined our resources.”

    – Peggy J.

  • One of our oldest and dearest friends, a lifelong activist for disabled rights and social justice, was in need of a new home. 

    The result is a stunning 950 sf addition/ADU that is 100% accessible including, redwood wheelchair ramps, a hoist system, room for medical equipment, radiant floor heating, high ceilings, a loft with dormers that lets in lots of natural light. 

    We found New Avenue to be helpful, reliable, responsible and trustworthy. The trade’s people who built our ADU have become life long friends.  Their commitment to the project was both felt and appreciated and we will be forever grateful for their contributions to the building.
