Essex & Gage Grand Opening: A Day of Sunshine, Smiles and Surf City Style

This past Saturday, something special happened in Huntington Beach—and not just the perfect summer weather. Landsea Homes officially opened the doors to Essex and Gage, two brand-new townhome neighborhoods designed for the way real life looks and feels in Surf City. And the grand opening celebration? Let’s just say it was a hit.

With six beautifully staged model homes to explore—two at Essex and four at Gage—guests spent the afternoon touring spacious interiors, eye-catching design details and layouts built for convenience and comfort. The scene was lively, upbeat and filled with future homeowners getting a true sense of what it means to live here.

Outside, the vibe was pure California cool. A live DJ kept the energy high while friends, families and future neighbors gathered under umbrellas to enjoy a sweet mix of boba teas, desserts and one very legendary local treat: burgers and fries served hot off the TK Burger truck. It was the kind of day where you could tour your dream home with a milk tea in one hand and a cheeseburger in the other. Smiles everywhere.

If the vibrant atmosphere wasn’t enough, the colorful signpost outside the sales gallery pointed the way to nearby favorites like South Coast Plaza, Bolsa Chica State Beach, Disneyland Resort and Bella Terra—just a few of the perks of Essex and Gage’s unbeatable location.

But more than just a grand opening, this event marked the beginning of something more: a connected, walkable community designed for modern living in the heart of Huntington Beach.
