Mountain House Becomes California's Newest City

The planned community, now home to 24,500 residents, faces challenges from extreme heat and limited amenities.

Mountain House is California's first new city in over a decade, officially incorporated this week.
The community was built in 1991 and has grown rapidly, attracting diverse residents priced out of the Bay Area.
Residents face oppressive heat, with temperatures often exceeding 100 degrees during summer months.
The city aims to develop more commercial infrastructure and amenities to support its growing population.
Despite challenges, residents express optimism about the city's future development and community spirit.
