City Village by SummerHill Homes is a new-construction community at Bishop Ranch 6 in San Ramon, California, offering about 404 homes across three product types next to the shops and restaurants of City Center Bishop Ranch. The mix spans attached townhomes, detached row homes, and single-family homes, so buyers can choose the layout and lot style that fits how they live. This guide walks through the three product types, the school assignments, how the HOA works, and what to know before you walk into the sales office.
Where is City Village in San Ramon?
City Village sits at Bishop Ranch 6 in San Ramon, immediately next to City Center Bishop Ranch, the open-air shopping and dining district off Bollinger Canyon Road. The location puts everyday retail, restaurants, and services within walking distance of the community, and it keeps you close to the I-680 corridor for commutes north toward Walnut Creek or south toward the Tri-Valley. San Ramon is one of the anchor cities along that corridor, and City Village is one of the larger new-construction efforts in the city.
What are the three home types at City Village?
City Village is built around roughly 404 homes divided into three distinct product types. They are not just different sizes; they are different housing types, and the difference matters for how you own and maintain the home.
The Towns: attached townhomes
The Towns are 136 attached townhomes. An attached townhome shares one or more walls with a neighboring home, and the community typically maintains the shared exterior elements. Plans run 3 to 4 bedrooms and approximately 1,716 to 2,250 square feet. This is usually the most compact footprint of the three, which appeals to buyers who want new construction with less exterior upkeep.
The Rows: detached row homes
The Rows are 114 detached row homes. A detached row home stands on its own without shared walls, but the homes are placed close together in a row-style streetscape, often with compact lots and rear or tucked garages. Plans run 3 to 4 bedrooms and approximately 1,977 to 2,445 square feet. You get the privacy of a detached structure with a more efficient lot than a traditional single-family layout.
The Courts: single-family homes
The Courts are 154 single-family homes. These are the largest of the three, with 4-bedroom plans and approximately 2,176 to 3,093 square feet. A single-family home is fully detached on its own lot, which is the most familiar ownership type and generally offers the most private outdoor space in the community.
Which schools serve City Village?
City Village is within the San Ramon Valley Unified School District. The assigned schools are Montevideo Elementary, Iron Horse Middle, and California High. School assignments can change with boundary adjustments and enrollment, so confirm current assignment with the district for a specific address before you write an offer.
Is there an HOA at City Village?
Yes. City Village has a homeowners association, and the dues vary by product type because the three home types carry different levels of shared maintenance. The Towns, as attached townhomes, generally involve more association-maintained exterior elements than the detached Courts. Ask for the current HOA budget, dues, and governing documents for the specific plan you are considering, and read what the dues cover so you can compare the true monthly cost across the three product types. For current HOA figures on a given home, contact me and I will pull them for you.
Should I use my own agent to buy new construction?
Yes, and it is worth understanding why. The sales representative in the SummerHill Homes model office works for the builder, not for you. That rep is professional and helpful, but their job is to represent the seller's interest in the transaction. When you have your own agent, you have someone reviewing the purchase contract, the HOA documents, the design-center pricing, and the timeline on your side of the table.
The key step is timing. Have me register you on your very first visit to City Village so I can represent you throughout the purchase. Most builders require your agent to accompany or register you on that first visit, so a quick call before you go protects your representation.
How does City Village compare to buying resale?
New construction and resale are genuinely different purchases, from the negotiation to the timeline to what you can customize. If you are weighing City Village against an existing home, my guide on new construction versus resale in East Contra Costa lays out the trade-offs, and my step-by-step walkthrough of buying new construction covers the process from registration through closing.
