About the business:
The tradition began when a young John Bonadelle built his first Fresno neighborhood near Manchester Center for first-time home buyers -- many of whom were soldiers returning from World War II.
Today, John A. Bonadelle continues the family tradition.
John officially joined the Bonadelle staff in 1984, working alongside his father to learn all there is to know about building new homes and neighborhoods with character and heart.
Now nearly 30 years later, he has built thousands of homes in Fresno and Clovis. His depth of experience includes the launch of new businesses, most notably Bonadelle Neighborhoods. Since 2000, he has led Bonadelle Neighborhoods in the construction of over 15 neighborhoods in the Fresno, Clovis and now Visalia areas.

Buying a Bonadelle home has been the single worst financial and personal decision of our lives. If you’re considering them — don’t. They cut corners everywhere, abandon responsibility the second your check clears, and leave families like mine footing the bill for their negligence.
Let me explain:
Bonadelle proudly offers only a 1-year warranty on new homes — a pathetic joke in the construction world where major structural and plumbing issues often don’t appear until years later. And that’s exactly what happened to us. Just after the warranty expired, we discovered a hidden water leak inside a wall, which had caused extensive mold and about $4,000 in damages.
We brought in a licensed plumber who confirmed this was a construction defect — an issue that was there from day one. When we presented the proof, Bonadelle sent one of their higher-ups, Zach, along with their pet plumbing contractor. Instead of addressing the problem, they dismissed it outright, denied responsibility, and basically told us to “kick rocks.” Zero accountability. Zero care. They leave families to suffer from problems they created.
The disaster doesn’t stop at the house. Our neighborhood park, which Bonadelle still controls, is a hazard to children and families. Instead of investing in quality, they cheaped out and seeded the park instead of laying sod. The result? A dead, patchy field that attracts pigeons. We now have a disgusting pigeon infestation, complete with dead birds littering the park where kids are supposed to play.
The playground equipment is falling apart. The rubberized surface under the swings is worn down and unsafe. The swings and structures frequently break — I’ve had to repair them myself just to prevent further accidents. Even worse, my daughter was injured at this park due to Bonadelle’s outright negligence. When we brought this up, they shrugged it off as if a child’s safety wasn’t worth their time or money.
To make matters worse, Bonadelle refuses to hand the park over to the HOA, trapping us in this cycle of neglect and liability.
Bonadelle Homes is a company built on greed, corner-cutting, and denial. They wash their hands of every problem, hide behind their worthless warranty, and leave families to pay for their mistakes. Their parks are unsafe, their workmanship is substandard, and their leadership is arrogant and dismissive.
If you care about your home, your health, and your children’s safety, do not buy from Bonadelle. They will take your money, cut every corner imaginable, and then vanish when the problems start — which they will.
I wouldn’t recommend Bonadelle Homes to my worst enemy.

This is my second home purchase with a new build, currently Bonadelle on this and I must say Kate alongside with Cindy in RIVERSTONE COMMUNITY as exceeded my expectation. They had been patient and stuck with us through muddy waters when the tides were turning. (READ THAT AGAIN). I appreciate all they had done along with their crew and team to get me and my wife into a home we were after and checked all of our needs for the most part. The team exhausted options after options of making things fall into place where it should and we couldn't be more grateful. If I had to do it again with the value that Bonadelle offers, incentive, BIG BACKYARD and more i will definitely work with our team again no second thoughts.

I recently purchased my first home with Bonadelle Neighborhoods, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Danielle and Aubrey were absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. They were both incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and always available to answer any questions I had as a first-time homebuyer.
Danielle made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way, explaining all the details clearly and thoroughly. Aubrey was equally supportive, making the paperwork stress free. Together, they made what could have been an overwhelming experience smooth and enjoyable. I truly felt like they cared about finding the perfect home for me.
If you're looking to buy a home, especially for the first time, I highly recommend working with Danielle and Aubrey at Bonadelle Neighborhoods!
