Bridgeview Heights Condos

A quiet condo neighborhood of tucked-away streets, greenbelts and huge mature trees, near downtown Benicia. It is three separate associations, and that matters for dues and for FHA loans.

Tye's take

I've been up there. It's really nice and quiet, with lots of huge trees. Really nice units, too. Some of the vaulted ceilings are awesome.

Before you fall for a unit, check which of the three associations it's in. The dues and the FHA answer depend on it.

Questions buyers ask

Is Bridgeview Heights one complex?

No. It is three condo associations with their own HOAs: Bridgeview Heights Condominium on Shirley Drive (96 units), Bridgeview Heights Unit II at 565 Lori Drive (80 units), and Bridgeview Heights III on Blanchard Lane (38 units).

Is Bridgeview Heights FHA approved?

Only one section. HUD's list shows Bridgeview Heights Condominium, at 1801–1896 Shirley Drive, approved through September 11, 2029. Unit II on Lori Drive expired in 2011 and Unit III on Blanchard Lane expired in 2020. Confirm on HUD’s condo lookup before you write an FHA offer.

What do units sell for?

In the 12 months before October 2026: five Shirley Drive units sold for $423,500–$510,000, two Lori Drive units for $440,000–$457,500, and two Blanchard Lane units for $359,000–$418,000. The three-bedroom units bring the top prices.

How much are the HOA dues?

It depends on the section. Recent sales showed about $498–$545 a month on Shirley Drive, $440 on Lori Drive and $498 on Blanchard Lane. Get the current budget and reserve study for the specific association.

What are the units like?

Mostly two-bedroom, two-bath condos around 873 square feet, plus some one-bedrooms and a few three-bedrooms at about 1,053 square feet. Upper units often have vaulted ceilings. Fireplaces, private decks and in-unit laundry are common.

How does parking work?

Units come with a one-car garage, usually detached or semi-attached, with extra room for storage.

Do units have water views?

Some listings advertise water or hill views from upper units and end units. Many others look out on trees and greenbelts instead. Ask about the specific unit.

What's the setting like?

Quiet, tucked-away streets with lawns, greenbelts and large mature trees. Listings mention Bridgeview Park nearby and an easy drive to downtown and the waterfront.

Can I rent out a unit?

Some past listings have said there were no rental restrictions, but rules differ by association and change over time. Read the CC&Rs for the specific section.
