Liberty at Founder's Village

This 55 and older senior project was built in 2004 and is affordable to low and moderate income households for 55 years. The income restrictions and eligibility requirements are available in the Liberty Application Package (PDF). Potential buyers must complete all of the forms in the application package and provide all applicable back up documents to the city for verification of eligibility to purchase in the community.

Occasionally, these units come up for sale. Subsequent buyers must meet income eligibility and affordability criteria for the term of the affordability. The information below is being provided for information purposes only and includes pertinent application documentation and eligibility requirements.

Applications are only accepted when a unit is for sale. Therefore, we do not pre-qualify and do not keep a list of eligible applicants. Once a unit is available, the potential buyer must comply with all eligibility requirements.

City Owned Property For Sale

The City of Fountain Valley currently has no property for sale. Additionally, it is unknown if/when property will become available. Once property is available for sale, information will be posted on this page.
