The Gates by City Ventures Opens This Weekend in Morgan Hill

Published on 26 Mar, 2026

City Ventures, California’s leading builder of solar-powered, ecologically responsible homes, has announced the official Grand Opening of The Gates in Morgan Hill this Saturday, March 28. The brand-new community will offer buyers a rare combination of sustainable and attainable housing opportunities within a dynamic, mixed-use setting in one of Santa Clara County’s most desirable areas.

“What’s most exciting and unique about this project—and why we named it The Gates—is because we see it as the gateway to homeownership, and to the Silicon Valley,” said Natasha Zabaneh, President of City Ventures. “We’ve been building in Northern California for 15 years, and The Gates is our seventh new home neighborhood in Morgan Hill.  During our planning stages for this project, we identified a very significant housing gap in the Bay Area market. Brand-new, energy-efficient, attainable homes are needed in Morgan Hill. We know that buyers want accessible options without sacrificing their top priorities, like proximity to the Silicon Valley, great schools, quality construction, and walkability. The Gates is about to change everything.”

Pedestrian-friendly, tree-lined pathways, barbecue and dining areas, a playground, bocce ball courts, and a central courtyard are some of the many neighborhood perks at The Gates. Plus, a beautifully landscaped bio basin, which collects and naturally filters rainwater, further reinforces the neighborhood’s commitment to sustainability. Future retail at The Gates will feature coffee shops, restaurants, and boutiques—all just steps from home. In addition, Morgan Hill’s family-friendly, walkable downtown, local wineries, and outdoor recreation are all within reach, along with Highway 101 for commuting to San Francisco and beyond.

At The Gates, buyers can expect an impressive array of modern, eco-friendly features that save energy and lower utility costs—a huge plus for today, and a smart investment for the future. All-electric construction, owned solar panels, water filtration systems, Nest thermostats, Ring doorbells, keyless entry, and energy-efficient appliances come standard in every home—no pricey add-ons or upgrades to deal with.  

Spacious, versatile floor plans range from approximately 1,403 to 2,227 square feet, with three to four bedrooms and up to four baths. Versatile floor plans offer options for every buyer—including ground-floor and main-level dens, perfect for a private home office, workout area, or even multi-gen living. Stunning kitchens showcase energy-efficient, stainless-steel appliances, large islands, tasteful backsplashes and countertops, and soft-close cabinets and drawers. Generously sized primary suites make a statement with oversized walk-in closets and beautifully appointed baths featuring dual vanity sinks, designer-inspired fixtures, and more. Inviting front porches, roomy outdoor decks, and two-car attached garages further enhance everyday comfort and convenience. 

 “This is the opportunity buyers have been hoping for,” said Zabaneh. “For those who thought living near Silicon Valley was out of reach, The Gates offers exciting possibilities—but they won’t last long.” Pricing starts at $859,990, or substantially less than the median sales price of $1.43 million reported by Redfin for February in Morgan Hill. In addition, with just 1.2 months of inventory, these new homes provide crucial supply in what is already a very tight buyers’ market.

Buyers are invited to tour The Gates’ beautifully furnished model home and be among the first to purchase in this sought-after neighborhood. Interested buyers should act now and contact the sales team directly via phone at (408) 598-6139 or email at TheGates@CityVentures.com.  Be sure to join the interest list on the website now, here. The Sales Gallery at The Gates is open daily, from 10 am to  pm, and is located at 18459 Monterey Road in Morgan Hill.
