Luxury Remodeling in La Mirada

La Mirada was olive and lemon country until 1953, when the land Andrew McNally had bought in 1895, intending country gentlemen's estates of 20 to 40 acres, was sold for subdivision. Seven years of fast building followed, and when the city incorporated in 1960 it was already home to 22,000 people. Nearly half of its housing still dates from that decade. The La Mirada Creek greenbelt winds across those neighborhoods toward the regional park and golf course, while the ground steepens in the northeast corner of the city. For a backyard or an ADU here, the deciding questions tend to be the mid-century house itself, the soils along the old drainages, and whether a parcel sits inside the small area at the eastern edge mapped for fire hazard.

Low-density single-family neighborhoods cover just over half of the city's land, in R-1 districts with minimum lot sizes from 6,000 to 15,000 square feet, on ground the General Plan describes as relatively flat outside the northeast. Nearly half of La Mirada's housing units were built between 1950 and 1959, so many projects begin with a mid-century house and yard.

One team designs, permits and builds every project, and our own crews self-perform the work, so the people who plan your La Mirada project are the people on site building it.
