Heritage Oaks Turns Ten!

The Heritage Oaks Habitat Neighborhood turned ten in 2022. The first Habitat home in Heritage Oaks closed escrow in 2012, and by the end of 2013 the neighborhood had six completed homes. By the end of 2019 a small Common Area had been developed, sixteen Homeowner families had moved in, and Phase 1 of the neighborhood was complete.  Heritage Oaks, the sixth location for Habitat homes in Nevada County, is located just west of the corner of Whiting Street and Joyce Drive.

Congratulations Heritage Oaks!

Fortunately, Habitat was able to purchase a large parcel of land on the other side of Joyce drive. Twelve additional homes will join Heritage Oaks as Heritage Oaks Phase II.

When Matt Arnold started working at Diamond Pacific two years ago he didn’t realize that his job would have a Habitat connection. Matt and his wife Corinne have been Habitat Homeowners in Heritage Oaks for nine years.

Ian Nansen, Habitat Construction Program Coordinator works with Diamond Pacific, one of Habitat’s key material vendors. Ian was delighted to find Matt at the company. “Because he worked on the construction of his own home, Matt has a real understanding of our construction process. He helps us build more affordable homes though his profession,” says Ian. “When I contact Diamond Pacific, I always ask for Matt.”
