Looking for affordable homes near the Bay Area? Don’t miss the opportunity to own one of our final available homes at Stanford Crossing this fall before inventory runs out.
Lathrop, California, might be your best-kept secret. With a population that’s grown over 61% since 2020—and still rising at more than 8% annually—Lathrop has become one of the fastest-growing cities in Northern California.
Why Is Lathrop Booming?
In a word: location. Lathrop sits strategically near Tracy, Stockton and the Bay Area, with easy access to major highways. That makes it an ideal spot for Bay Area commuters and remote workers looking for more space, modern homes and better value.
The area is also becoming a job hub, thanks to major employers like:
- Tesla’s Megafactory
- Amazon fulfillment centers
- Growing logistics and manufacturing operations nearby
These jobs are drawing new residents, creating long-term housing demand and giving Lathrop an economic foundation that many inland cities are losing.
Lathrop is also a buyer’s market right now, with the supply of homes exceeding demand, according to realtor.com. This explains why home sales have increased 16% over March, April and May 2025 compared to the same period last year, as reported in the Manteca Bulletin.
