City Ventures Welcomes Vivot Craft Café to Eginhouse, Enhancing Community Living and Retail Experience
City Ventures—recognized as one of California’s leading builders of solar-powered and environmentally conscious homes—has announced an exciting milestone for its innovative Eginhouse community in Artesia. The developer has confirmed that Vivot Craft Café, a well-loved Orange County coffee concept, will become the very first business to open within the community’s ground-floor commercial space. Beginning in 2026, residents will enjoy convenient access to the café’s popular handcrafted beverages, made with organic ingredients and house-created syrups, further enriching the living experience and strengthening neighborhood appeal.
Vivot Craft Café has established a strong reputation for quality and creativity, offering a curated menu featuring organic matcha drinks, specialty teas, and artisan coffees. Each beverage is prepared with natural ingredients and their own fruit purées, supporting a focus on wellness and fresh, authentic flavor. The café’s arrival marks a significant step forward in creating a vibrant community center at Eginhouse.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Vivot Craft Café to Eginhouse’s retail lineup,” shared Natasha Zabaneh, President of City Ventures. “Having a high-quality, locally owned coffee shop just steps from home is the ultimate convenience for homeowners—it gives them that sought-after neighborhood feeling that really enhances daily life. Imagine greeting neighbors while grabbing your coffee on the way to work or relaxing with a favorite latte and a book on a weekend morning. There’s something special about living close to walkable amenities, and Vivot Craft Café is going to be a local favorite.”
The arrival of Vivot Craft Café also highlights City Ventures’ strategy of establishing thriving, connected, and socially engaging communities. Vivot already has two highly successful locations in Fullerton and Mission Viejo, drawing customers both for their beverages and their warm, modern atmosphere. Their decision to expand into Artesia reflects the momentum building around the city’s redevelopment initiatives and the emergence of Eginhouse as a desirable destination for both residents and businesses.
“We’re very excited that Vivot Craft Café chose Eginhouse as their third location,” said Kelly Nguyen, Vice President of Sales for City Ventures. “As Artesia continues to undergo significant growth and revitalization, Eginhouse’s unique pocket within the city embodies the kind of community we love—a close-knit neighborhood where people are proud to live and work.”
This exciting commercial addition comes shortly after Eginhouse was recognized with the award for “Best Infill Community” at the 2025 Building Industry Association of Southern California MAME Awards, an honor that celebrates communities demonstrating excellence in residential design and community planning. The award underscores Eginhouse’s thoughtful development approach and its contribution to modern, sustainable living.
Situated within the renowned ABC Unified School District, Eginhouse consists of 59 contemporary, three-story townhomes, including 22 designated live/work units, providing adaptable layouts for homeowners who operate businesses or work remotely. The property includes 4,544 square feet of ground-floor commercial space, where Vivot Craft Café will be among the first tenants to open their doors.
“Eginhouse is an incredibly popular neighborhood because it offers a one-of-a-kind lifestyle that checks off every box,” said Zabaneh. “Buyers love the balance of small-town charm with major conveniences such as parks, green spaces, public transit, freeway access, a top-tier school district, and strong local employment opportunities. Cerritos College is also just a short distance away, adding additional value and educational access.”
The community offers three distinct floorplans ranging from approximately 1,342 to 1,899 square feet, including three bedrooms and up to three-and-a-half baths. Designed to support modern living, the homes include dens, home offices, and flexible live/work zones that blend residential and professional spaces. Every home integrates smart technology and sustainable features, including owned solar panels, smart learning thermostats, dual-glazed windows, water-saving fixtures, and all-electric appliances. These systems help reduce environmental impact, lower monthly utility costs, and enhance everyday comfort.
Kitchens are a standout feature in every residence, incorporating quartz or granite countertops, flat-panel cabinetry with soft-closing hinges, premium LG stainless-steel appliances, and built-in water filtration systems. Additional conveniences include attached private two-car garages and keyless entry systems, supporting secure access and easy transportation.
“It’s exciting to be part of Artesia’s ongoing renaissance and redevelopment,” Zabaneh added. “With retail additions like Vivot Craft Café at Eginhouse, we’re not just building homes—we’re creating opportunities for people to live, work, and thrive in a thoughtfully planned, well-rounded neighborhood environment.”
Pricing at Eginhouse starts in the low $700,000s, aligning competitively with local resale data. According to Redfin, the median sales price for resale townhomes in Artesia during October was approximately $700,000, giving buyers the opportunity to secure brand-new construction with warranties and owned solar at a similar price point.
