Thirty miles southwest of Modesto in Stanislaus County and about 30-45 minutes from Tracy and has a population of about 10,000. Founded by Simon Newman in 1888- Newman has a historic downtown rich with rail road history, Newman's downtown has a similar look and feel to me of Tracy's downtown. Newman is also home to the Westside Theatre.(downtown Newman, Ca)

There is Three catches.
1) Small lot size, Average lot size is only 2500 Sq.ft.
2) Hoa dues of 180 a month which covers outside maintenance. I was told by the salesperson that its supposed to be decreasing gradually as the subdivision fills up to about 130 a month.
3) of course its in Newman.
Yesterday I went down there to see the models. This last week was there grand opening and they sold about 7 out of the 13 they have released. This is the very kind of subdivision that I think is needed in Tracy. Except we need bigger decent sized lots and no HOA. It is time to bring back the smaller homes and to price them affordable to attract first time buyers.
MODELS:
Plan 1:
964 +/- Square Feet • 2 bedrooms • 2 baths • 1 car tandem garage offered at $231,900. This was the one I was most interested in seeing. I went and took some pictures of the inside and they are posted below. Its a very nice home and like I said the only major turnoff was the small lot size.

1,260 +/- Square Feet • 3 bedrooms • 2 baths • 2 car tandem garage offered at $248,900. This has a very narrow feel. The garage is a two car but its back to back or "tandem" and yes that is how close together the houses are.Plan 4: 1,532 +/- Square Feet • 3 bedrooms • 2 baths • 2 car tandem garage
$268,900Here are a few of the photos I took of plan one:
