New Pardee Home in Pacific Highlands Ranch Arrives Just in Time for For First-time Buyer's Second Child

SAN DIEGO, CA, January 01, 2012 (Press-News.org) What could be more exciting than buying your first home? For the Sharma family it is the arrival of their second child and settling into their new Manzanita Trail home in Pacific Highlands Ranch. This growing family had been on the hunt for a home since late 2009 and after a friend referred them to Pardee, they knew that Pacific Highlands Ranch was the ideal place to raise a family.

"The location, between I-5 and I-15 is ideal, since my wife works in the Torrey Pines area and I work in Rancho Bernardo," said Sam Sharma. "We are right in between. Another huge factor in choosing Manzanita Trail was the community and the Pacific Highlands Ranch Recreation Center, allowing us to forgo a gym membership and enjoy the nice recreation center so close to home."

Manzanita Trail, along with Brightwater and Hampton Lane, all offer eco-friendly living, distinctive floor plans and all the benefits of living in coastal-close Pacific Highlands Ranch. The scenic master-planned community is home to award-winning schools, convenient shopping and an expansive nature preserve with hiking and biking trails. Residents have exclusive access to the private Pacific Highlands Ranch recreation center. This state-of-the-art, resort-style facility includes an elegant clubhouse, swimming pool, spa, fitness center, barbeques and a children's water play area.

Developed by Pardee Homes, the Pacific Highlands Ranch master-planned community is located in one of northern San Diego County's largest coastal-close sites, just east of Carmel Valley, with easy access to Interstates 5 and 15 and Highway 56, and is located just minutes from the beaches of Del Mar. With just a few homes remaining at Manzanita Trail, Brightwater and Hampton Lane offer buyers a selection of six elegant floor plans.

Priced from the mid $800,000s, Brightwater opened for sale in October 2011 bringing another exciting new collection of luxury homes to Pacific Highlands Ranch. Traditional, yet fresh Spanish, Coastal Cottage and Napa design influences accent three floor plans, all with three bay garages. Homes have four to five bedrooms, three to four baths and approximately 2,827 to 3,432 square feet.

Hampton Lane, which opened for sale last year as well, features fresh, sophisticated and timeless styling in three exceptional floor plans, all boasting front porch entries, charming side courtyards and rear entry garages. Priced from the high $600,000s, homes at Hampton Lane have four bedrooms, three baths and approximately 2,390 to 2,630 square feet.

The final homes are now selling at Manzanita Trial, which includes a final offering of Plan 1 floor plans. This classic, courtyard-oriented home has four bedrooms; pricing is from the high $600,000s.

All homes built by Pardee feature the company's award-winning LivingSmart program of earth- friendly features and options. This collection of standard and optional features increases the homes' energy-efficiency, saves water, and saves the homeowner money each and every month, thus creating the perfect combination of living and lifestyle.

"Our LivingSmart program helps preserve the land and its precious resources while making the home environment more comfortable and efficient," said Matt Sauls, director of marketing for Pardee Homes. "The program includes features such as energy-efficient appliances and lighting, tightly sealed ducts, Low E spectrally selective glass windows, dimmer switches and occupancy sensors and engineered wood products. Some of the most popular options are roof integrated solar power systems, tankless water heaters and high-efficiency electronic air filtration systems."

With 90 years of home building experience, Pardee Homes is one of the largest building companies in California and noted for energy-efficient building practices, quality construction and customer satisfaction. Among the advantages of buying a new home from an established company, is the Pardee price guarantee that ensures that the contracted price of the home will be honored even if pricing within the community changes during the escrow period.

The Sharma family found the buying process was easier than they expected; getting lots of help from the Pardee sales team, Pardee Homes Loans and construction department. "The construction process and buying experience were exceptional," added Sharma. "We are enjoying our home every day. The layout is good and the energy-saving features are important too."
