"The judges were truly impressed with Pardee's thoughtful approach to Skyline's complex challenges," said Lisa Parrish, SoCal Judging Chair and producer of SoCal. "The meticulous crafting of amenities that buyers can enjoy immediately; the savvy approach to all marketing elements; and the pride and enthusiasm Pardee demonstrates created a remarkable sense of place—even before model opening.

Buyer response to Skyline equals the enthusiasm of SoCal and Gold Nugget judges, as shown by nearly 200 sales to date at the first four neighborhoods, which opened in late 2018. Little said the sales rate continues to outpace many Southern California markets, and noted attainable pricing, stylish, diversified designs, and the scenic hilltop location as among the factors cited by Skyline homebuyers.

About 80% of Skyline's 2,173 hilltop acres is dedicated open space, with walkability core to its earth-friendly, lifestyle planning concepts. Internal destinations include neighborhood overlooks, a 10-acre city park and The Lookout recreational center, an indoor/outdoor community hub with pools, a spa, deck and cabanas, playground, workout studios, outdoor grills, coffee bar and kitchen.

A top spot at Skyline is reserved for a proposed new K-6 school in the Sulphur Springs Unified District. Also on Skyline's horizon are additional amenity centers and a county park with sports fields, picnic areas, playgrounds and gathering spaces.

Skyline is convenient to Santa Clarita's work centers and to neighborhood retail, dining and leisure choices. Also close are Metrolink, and freeways to regional destinations. See www.LifeAtSkyline.com.
