Pardee Homes' Attainable Highlands Village in North San Diego County Offers Contemporary New Home Choices, Including a Dual-Master Bedroom Floor Plan

    SAN DIEGO, CA, May 22, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Appealing to the first-time home buyer can be limiting, but Pardee Homes has the solution with a number of choices at Highlands Village, a new townhome neighborhood in coastal-close Carmel Country Highlands. With five floor plans, Highlands Village offers a range of choices, but the Plan 1 and Plan 1X have a special appeal for those making the plunge into home ownership, according to Rachel Collins, director of sales for Pardee Homes.

"Highlands Village has a natural appeal for young buyers, with its great Carmel Valley location and its resort-style recreation amenities, but when it comes down to actually finding the right home at the right price, the Plan 1 is ideal," Collins said. "It is really two floor plans--both have two bedrooms, two and one-half baths, a two-bay garage and approximately 1,274 square feet, but they live uniquely different. Plan 1 is ideal for two adults with its dual master bedroom suites, allowing for plenty of closet space and privacy. Plan 1x is open and airy, with a welcoming great room feel downstairs, and two ample size bedrooms upstairs that may appeal to a young family or single looking for a home with enough room for an office or guest room."

Priced from the high $400,000s, Pardee Homes' contemporary collection of resort-style townhomes ranges from two to four bedrooms and up to 2,069 square feet, combining stylish design with energy-efficient features. The LivingSmart package of standard and optional measures boosts energy efficiency, saves water and improves indoor air quality making Highlands Village an exciting new sustainable home choice in the coveted coastal-close Carmel Country Highlands community.

The standard of living at Highlands Village is defined by convenience and high-style, allowing buyers to select from a number of design options including fireplaces and a bedroom versus loft option available in some plans. An extensive list of standard features include fully-equipped kitchens with a slab granite countertop and spacious pantry, luxurious master baths, walk-in closets, air conditioning, interior laundry space and private porches with gates.

The master planned community of Carmel Country Highlands was designed to offer a wide range of housing choices while offering residents easy access to substantial recreation amenities. Highlands Village helps fulfill this vision, providing homeowners with the luxury of their own private clubhouse with a swimming pool, spa, fitness facility, media room, game room, and kid's play area. The beautiful clubhouse will also have a full kitchen and great room, ideal for parties, and include two private guest units available for rent to guests of homeowners.

Pardee plans on building 167 two-story townhomes at this location, which is the last new home neighborhood to be built in the Carmel Country Highlands master planned community.

Comprising more than 800 acres, Pardee's master-planned community of Carmel Country Highlands is perched high atop a breathtaking ridge in San Diego's North County.
