Raymus Homes has proposed a new 97-home residential development on a 21.17-acre site at the intersection of Austin Road and a connector road near Atherton Drive. The project is currently undergoing review by Manteca city officials as part of a broader expansion effort in the region.
Why it matters
This proposal marks the first residential development put forward for the area south of Highway 99 on Austin Road, signaling a potential shift in neighborhood growth patterns. It follows the city's long-term planning efforts to develop 1,080 acres along the corridor for residential use.
The proposed 21.17-acre project joins other active city residential plans, including a 276-home development at 743 North Austin Road. Currently, the city has 797 homes under construction at the Cedar Point neighborhood.
The players
Raymus Homes
A residential developer active in the regional housing market proposing new neighborhood expansions.
City of Manteca
The local municipal authority managing zoning, urban planning, and infrastructure development.
The details
The developer is seeking approval for a site located outside of the designated 1,080-acre residential corridor previously mapped by the city. While this corridor is expected to support housing for up to 10,500 people, the Raymus Homes site requires careful municipal assessment given its position relative to established planning zones. City staff are currently evaluating the proposal against existing infrastructure and zoning standards to determine if the development aligns with long-term growth objectives.
Timeline
The land was originally annexed to the city a decade ago.
The current review process is active as of October 23, 2026.
The Home Front
The proposal falls outside the primary 1,080-acre residential corridor established for future growth in Manteca. This highlights the city's ongoing efforts to balance rapid housing expansion with defined long-term land-use designations.
Homeowners in the vicinity of Austin Road and Atherton Drive should monitor upcoming city council meetings for updates on infrastructure and traffic impact studies. Residents can check the city planning department portal to track project approval status and public comment periods.
The takeaway
This project represents a new phase of growth south of Highway 99. Neighbors interested in upcoming infrastructure changes should keep an eye on city planning updates for future construction timelines.
