Experience the Value of Green at Pardee Homes' LivingSmart Lakeside; A Neighborhood of New Homes Priced from the High $100,000s

SAN DIEGO, CA, October 14, 2012 (Press-News.org) Pardee Homes has created a hands-on experience for home shoppers who seek a distinctive new home combined with eco-friendly living. At LivingSmart Homes Lakeside in Beaumont the LivingSmart Room in the Plan 2 model home is filled with features and options that allow the home shopper to experience the value of green.

"We make the reality of earth-friendly features and options come to life in the Lakeside Demonstration Room," said Joyce Mason, vice president of marketing for Pardee Homes. "New homes today offer 30% more energy savings than homes built just five years ago, and that is due in part to many of the eco-friendly features that have been developed in recent years. We invite home shoppers to actually see and touch some of the features and options that contribute to saving energy, reducing water usage and providing a healthier environment when they visit the LivingSmart Room."

Inside the LivingSmart Room at Lakeside, home shoppers can see components of the home's infrastructure that they may never have a glimpse of after the home is completed, such as radiant barrier roof sheathing, engineered lumber used for framing and high performance low VOC attic insulation. There are also informative descriptions and videos demonstrating some of the newest technologically advanced energy-efficient amenities that are available in a Pardee home, such as Low-E spectrally selective glass windows, LED lighting, Water Sense plumbing fixtures, a tankless water heater that provides on-demand water circulation, solar electric power system, and plush, stain-resistant carpeting made from recycled materials.

Like all new homes built by Pardee, Lakeside's LivingSmart package of standard and optional features increases energy-efficiency, saves water, provides healthier living, and adds up to a distinctive way of life--one that preserves the land and its precious resources while making the home environment more comfortable and efficient. These new, spacious and sustainably built homes, offer three to four bedrooms, two to three baths, and square footage ranging from approximately 1,296 to 2,256 square feet. Four floor plans are available, including both one- and two-story homes, with pricing from the high $100,000s.

All plans at Lakeside feature great room living, with welcoming front porches and two-bay garages. Both two story models have a downstairs bedroom with a full bath and Plan 2 includes a den or fourth bedroom option. Spanish, Traditional, French and Italian architectural styles are accented with shutter and iron accents and water-friendly, front-yard landscaping is included.

Distinctive interiors include slab granite kitchen countertops, General Electric stainless steel finish appliances, a convenient storage pantry in the kitchen, large walk-in closets in the master bedroom suite, dual-pane spectrally selective tempered vinyl windows, and upgraded interior finishes including architecturally specified recessed lighting and elegant interior detailing.

Pardee Homes also offers an array of optional features to personalize your new home, from versatile outdoor rooms with lighting and decorative wood ceiling treatments to security systems, additional electrical outlets and customized bathroom countertops.

"LivingSmart Homes Lakeside is a great place to put down roots," said Matt Sauls, director of marketing for Pardee Homes. "First-time buyers will love the location, community amenities and pricing, and move-up buyers can take advantage of our Smart Move Advantage, a program that helps get your current home rented when you purchase a Pardee home."

Ideally located in Southern California with proximity to all of the Inland Empire and Palm Springs, Lakeside is located in the gated, master-planned Tournament Hills community with easy access to I-10. Tournament Hills adjoins the Tukwet Canyon Golf Club, ranked among the best courses in Southern California.

Also available for sale, are homes at LivingSmart Tournament Hills, with three to seven bedrooms, two to four baths and approximately 1,597 to 3,099 square feet. Golf course location homes are now selling in this neighborhood, where pricing is from the high $100,000s.
