Posted October 25, 2026 | By Eric Engelbert | Updated with new MLS sales data.
Along West Central Avenue just east of Berry Street, Central Park Village transformed the 15-acre former Brea Community Hospital campus into one of the city's most distinctive master-planned urban villages. While the broader development includes apartments, medical offices, retail, and a public park, the ownership anchor of the master plan is its collection of 61 for-sale multi-story townhomes (alongside 20 inclusionary flats) entitled under Brea's MU-II zoning.
Now fully built out, Central Park Village townhomes (including the Element collection along Broadway Drive and Manhattan Drive) trade on the resale market. Recent MLS sales and listings have traded from about $850,000 to $1,050,000, offering move-up buyers rare newer-construction ownership within walking distance of downtown Brea.

How It Fits Brea's Housing Element & Infill Vision
Brea's 2021-2029 Housing Element targets a state-mandated Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) of 2,365 units. Under California land-use law, the city relies heavily on repurposing underutilized commercial and institutional parcels rather than encroaching into the Carbon Canyon hillsides.
Central Park Village is highlighted throughout Brea's planning documents as the gold standard for MU-II adaptive infill. The 15-acre hospital conversion was cited as evidence that the private market can successfully absorb densities of 31 units per acre while integrating deed-restricted moderate-income ownership units under Brea's Affordable Housing Ordinance. In Table HE-41 of the adopted Housing Element, the final phase of Central Park Village was credited with 81 units toward the 6th Cycle mandate, proving out the feasibility of adjacent infill projects like the Brea Central Business Park across Berry Street.
