Pardee Homes Announces Construction is Underway of New LivingSmart Neighborhood of Homes in North San Diego County; Hampton Lane Set to Open in May

SAN DIEGO, CA, April 06, 2011 (Press-News.org) Model construction is underway at Hampton Lane, a new coastal-close neighborhood of single-family detached homes by Pardee Homes that will include the company's exclusive LivingSmart package of energy saving features and options. Located in North San Diego County off Carmel Valley Road in master-planned Pacific Highlands Ranch, Hampton Lane is anticipated to open for sale in May 2011.

"Hampton Lane has been designed for today's energy-conscious homebuyers by incorporating an array of standard and optional measures that boost energy efficiency, help reduce water consumption and improve indoor air quality in a new home," said Matt Sauls, director of marketing for Pardee Homes. "In addition to appealing to today's savvy, energy conscious buyer, Hampton Lane is sure to appeal to anyone seeking a traditionally styled home built in a great neighborhood that includes highly rated schools, nearby shopping, services and easy access to all of San Diego.

As currently envisioned, Hampton Lane will consist of 114 homes offering three floor plans, each with four bedrooms, three baths and approximately 2,390 to 2,617 square feet. Understated visual interest joined with the traditional style that speaks of enduring value can be found in this exceptional collection of two-story homes, all boasting courtyards, rear entry two-bay garages and exclusive access to the Pacific Highlands Ranch resort-style recreation center. Charming great room layouts in two plans, front porch entries and welcoming archways reflect coastal cottage, California bungalow and Spanish architecture. Classic interior detailing such as furniture style cabinetry, framed mirrors and luxurious master baths are planned.

"Pardee's LivingSmart brand will offer added value to the homes at Hampton Lane, providing homeowners with lower energy and water bills, healthier indoor air, greater indoor comfort and better resale value," added Sauls. "With LivingSmart, energy efficiency exceeds California's Title 24 criteria. Water-thrifty appliances, plumbing, the use of low VOC (volatile organic compound) materials and sustainably farmed lumber are among the LivingSmart standards."

Buyers can also add such features as photovoltaic systems for in-home solar power, whole house water filtration, and tankless water heaters.

Hampton Lane will be served by schools in the highly rated Solana Beach School District and San Dieguito Union High School District.

Established in 1921, Pardee Homes is active in California's San Diego, Inland Empire and Los Angeles/Ventura markets, and in Las Vegas. The company emphasizes master-planned communities that include schools, parks and open space, and is noted for quality construction, customer service and dedication to the educational and civic goals of the communities in which it builds.
