SoMi, situated in an ultra-convenient central Hayward location just steps from the South Hayward BART station, presents an exciting collection of modern townhomes and condominiums. Here, homeowners will enjoy a long list of perks, with 1.2 acres of recreation space that includes several gathering areas, and a dog park.
HayPark at SoMi, a sophisticated neighborhood featuring stylish, well-appointed townhomes from the $800,000s, held their Grand Opening in March of 2023. HBFA moved their first homeowners in late last year and held their first community welcome gathering this past June for its 36 new homeowners. The community features three- and four-bedroom solar-powered homes from 1,563 to 1,808 square feet, with balconies and two-car garages.
HayView at SoMi, priced from the $700,000s, is a standout collection of upscale condominiums in a modern, four-story building, is now selling and will begin its first move-ins later this fall. Buyers can choose from two- and three-bedroom floorplans that range from approximately 1,125 to 1,572 square feet. Building amenities include the Butterfly virtual doorman, package lockers, a community lounge, and a rooftop deck.
Fusion, an innovative townhome neighborhood from the $900,000s, presents open floorplans that range from approximately 1,758 to 2,461 square feet and includes nine live-work homes. Situated near BART, CSU East Bay, green belts, and trails, Fusion’s prime location has already prompted strong buyer demand. The first seven homes in Phase I are now selling, and include three live-work residences. Two beautifully furnished model homes are open.
With views of the Santa Cruz mountains and the San Francisco Bay Area, Vida is one of HBFA’s most exciting communities to date. Within walking distance to shopping, dining, and more, the new Sunnyvale neighborhood features well-appointed, energy-efficient townhomes from $1,400,000. Two- and three-bedroom floorplans are available, each offering decks off the main living area. Following the success of its first release, Vida’s next phase is already under construction, and two strikingly designed model homes were recently completed. Community amenities include a barbecue, seating and dining areas, raised planter beds, and a play structure.
“We’re pleased to continue our role in providing much-needed, attainable housing to the Bay Area,” said Scott Menard, President and COO for Homes Built For America. “HayPark at SoMi, HayView at SoMi, Fusion, and Vida are four stellar examples of how we’re actively addressing the housing crisis in Northern California by creating new opportunities where they are needed the most.”

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Donald Trump's fourth scheduled stop in eight days in Wisconsin is a sign of his increased attention as Republicans fret about the former president's ability to match the Democrats' enthusiasm and turnout machine.
“In the political chatter class, they’re worried," said Brandon Scholz, a retired Republican strategist and longtime political observer in Wisconsin who voted for Trump in 2020 but said he is not voting for Trump or Democratic nominee Kamala Harris this year. “I think Republicans are right to be concerned.”
Trump's latest rally was planned for 2 p.m. Central time Sunday in Juneau in Dodge County, which he won in 2020 with 65% of the vote. Jack Yuds, chairman of the county Republican Party, said support for Trump is stronger in his part of the state than it was in 2016 or 2020. “I can’t keep signs in,” Yuds said. “They want everything he’s got. If it says Trump on it, you can sell it.”
Wisconsin is perennially tight in presidential elections but has gone for the Republicans just once in the past 40 years, when Trump won the state in 2016. A win in November could make it impossible for Harris to take the White House.
Trump won in 2016 over Democrat Hillary Clinton by fewer than 23,000 votes and lost to Democrat Joe Biden in 2020 by just under 21,000 votes.
On Tuesday, Trump made his first-ever visit to Dane County, home to the liberal capital city of Madison, in an effort to turn out the Republican vote even in the state's Democratic strongholds. Dane is Wisconsin’s second most-populous and fastest-growing county; Biden received more than 75% of the vote four years ago.
“To win statewide you’ve got to have a 72-county strategy,” former Gov. Scott Walker, a Republican, said at that event.
Trump’s campaign and outside groups supporting his candidacy have outspent Harris and her allies on advertising in Wisconsin, $35 million to $31 million, since she became a candidate on July 23, according to the media-tracking firm AdImpact.
Harris and outside groups supporting her candidacy had more advertising time reserved in Wisconsin from Oct. 1 through Nov. 5, more than $25 million compared with $20 million for Trump and his allies.
The Harris campaign has 50 offices across 43 counties with more than 250 staff in Wisconsin, said her spokesperson Timothy White. The Trump campaign said it has 40 offices in the state and dozens of staff.
Harris rallied supporters in Madison in September at an even that drew more than 10,000 people. On Thursday, she made an appeal to moderate and disgruntled conservatives by holding an event in Ripon, the birthplace of the Republican Party, along with former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, one of Trump’s most prominent Republican antagonists.
Harris and Trump are focusing on Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, the “blue wall” states that went for Trump in 2016 and flipped to Biden in the next election.
While Trump’s campaign is bullish on its chances in Pennsylvania as well as Sunbelt states, Wisconsin is seen as more of a challenge.
“Wisconsin, tough state,” said Trump campaign senior adviser Chris LaCivita, who worked on Republican Sen. Ron Johnson’s winning reelection campaign in 2022.
“I mean, look, that’s going to be a very tight — very, very tight, all the way to the end. But where we are organizationally now, comparative to where we were organizationally four years ago, I mean, it’s completely different,” LaCivita said.
He also cited Michigan as more of a challenge. “But again, these are states that Biden won and carried and so they’re going to be brawls all the way until the end and we’re not ceding any of that ground.”
The candidates are about even in Wisconsin, based on a series of polls that have shown little movement since Biden dropped out in late July. Those same polls also show high enthusiasm among both parties.
Mark Graul, who ran then-President George W. Bush’s 2004 campaign in Wisconsin, said the number of campaign visits speaks to Wisconsin’s decisive election role.
The key for both sides, he said, is persuading infrequent voters to turn out.
“Much more important, in my opinion, than rallies,” Graul said.
