The Alder

At Olson Homes, we understand that buying a home is one of life’s biggest and most meaningful milestones. It’s not just about finding a place to live — it’s about finding where your life will unfold, where memories will be made, and where you’ll truly feel at home. For more than 35 years, Olson Homes has been honored to help Southern California buyers take that important step by creating thoughtfully designed neighborhoods in places people genuinely want to be. We believe a home should support the way you live every day. That’s why Olson focuses on building walkable communities located near shopping, dining, schools, entertainment, and transportation — helping homeowners stay connected to the things that matter most. Our homes are designed with comfort, functionality, and modern lifestyles in mind, offering flexible living spaces that grow and change alongside our homeowners. We also know that buying a home can feel overwhelming, which is why we created our Champion Program. This personalized support experience is designed to guide buyers through every step of the journey. From your first visit to move-in day and beyond, our team is committed to clear communication, education, and making sure you feel confident and supported throughout the process. Over the years, Olson Homes has received numerous industry awards for home design, community planning, and customer experience, but Our communities all include the word "walk" in their names because we envision homeowners stepping out their front doors and walking to shops, restaurants, cafes, and schools. This fosters a strong sense of community as residents engage with their neighbors and become integral parts of their cities. We are passionate about providing transit-oriented housing, mixed-use/live-work spaces, artist lofts, brownstones, and small-lot detached homes. Our commitment is to enhance the local neighborhood experience by capturing and celebrating the best social and architectural elements of each area.
