Which West Coast City Expands While Others Contract?

Even as California’s overall population shrunk, there was one city which doubled the people and doubled the housing over the last decade - and that was Lathrop, a suburban city about 10 miles south of Stockton.

Lathrop is poised to grow even more, with the city working with developers to build entire neighborhoods of for-sale homes.

Lathrop was the only West Coast city out of the 15 fastest-growing U.S. municipalities. Lathrop officials say they are in the process of building more than 18,000 single-family homes and 350 multi-family homes over about 20 years.

The city had nearly 10,400 homes at the beginning of 2023 and a decade ago it had only 5,700 homes.

City officials haven’t forgotten the infrastructure and amenities, either. They are planning four major developments which include new restaurants, schools, offices, and parks. So, keep an eye on this city as it could be the next up & coming area to invest in – be it as a new home owner or an investor!
