Woodside Homes makes each homebuyer's dream or need its own, using them to create the ideal home for life to unfold. That perfect home's location and how it looks is an extension of who the homebuyer is. So, at Woodside, loca- tion is everything and design guidance is key. Extra thought is put into creating neigh- borhoods where life's necessities are near and learning about their buyers is the first step of the Woodside design process as well as each process thereafter. A dedicated sales team is at the buyers' disposal to discover the best community for their needs and lifestyle, and their professional design team helps buyers define a look and feel that's unique to them through Wood- side's innovative Inspi- ration Gallery. Woodside Homes' customer-focused homebuilding expe- rience is offered all around Northern Cali- fornia, from Lincoln to Mountain House and from Vacaville to El Dorado Hills. Their communities cater to any number of lifestyles with how close they are to employment centers, shopping, dining, entertainment, and the outdoors and many offer great in-commu- nity amenities such as walking and biking trails, pools, parks and more. With 11 brand- new communities avail- able, it's easy to find the right home in the right place at Woodside. Spend some time in Lincoln in Placer County and it's clear this up-and-coming town offers events and outdoor options perfect for young fami- lies and empty nesters alike. Piamonte and Tramonte at Twelve Bridges in Lincoln offer two incredible commu- nity options, offering single- or two-story homes ranging from 2,243 square feet to 4,004 square feet and starting in the high $500,000 range. A quick trip to Interstate 80, and you're to Sacra- mento in no time. Take the family outside to the community trails and parks. Roseville is known for its tree-lined streets and abundant shopping, dining, and entertain- ment options, a great place to call home. The Hills and The Ridge at Paradiso provide ample living space here in either a single- or two-story home rang- ing from 1,726 square feet to 2,539 square feet and starting in the low $400,000 range. Enjoy a thoughtfully planned community with friendly neighbor- hoods, winding trails for biking and hiking, and neighborhood parks. I-80 is close as well for easy travel to neighbor- ing cities.

Not just any new house will do Tramonte at Twelve Bridges is located in the beautiful Lincoln hills with gorgeous large homes on lots with views of the Sacramento Valley. Pointe's entry into the Sacramento region, the building and sales team consists of longtime local residents. "Most of us grew up here in this market and we under- stand what makes Sacra- mento such a great place to live," said Bodem. He noted that although TRI Pointe is a publicly traded company based in Irvine, their commitment to greater Sacramento is solid. "We pride ourselves on being customer-driven and getting input on what people are looking for specific to the area," said Bodem. "La Madera homes are not reused plans from another area; we researched the demographic of buyers in Lincoln and created unique home designs just for them." Those designs, he explained, include eleva- tions to suit a range of buyers, with concentra- tions in two popula- tion segments. "The city of Lincoln attracts young families buying for the first time as well as buyers in the move- down age range," said Bodem. "These buyers like Lincoln because of its proximity to the services in Roseville, the shop- ping, a new high school right here in Lincoln, and great access to Interstate 80, the mountains and Tahoe." Additionally, cost plays heavily into the decision process. "The base prices at La Madera are in the low- to mid-$400,000 range; all four residences will be within FHA loan limits," said Bodem. "Being able to get an FHA loan is extremely important." This summer, TRI Pointe also breaks ground on two additional Sacramento-area commu- nities — Waterstone at Folsom Ranch and Brookstone at Folsom Ranch. With larger homesites that appeal to more of the traditional family-buyer profile, Brookstone (priced from the $500,000 range) and Waterstone (priced from the $600,000 range) are south of Highway 50 in Folsom, an area seeing buyer interest, given its schools, trails, parks, proximity to the job corri- dor on Highway 50 and 90-minute distance to Tahoe. Quality luxury with room to roam Still other buyers prioritize breathing room, land and relaxation with- out sacrificing proxim- ity to the city. That said, when a California new- home buyer dreams of luxury living in Northern California, a 2,672- to 3,364-square-foot home with custom finishes on an acre of land only 25 minutes from downtown does not come to mind. Especially if priced from $979,000 to $1.1 million. At Capital Estates, built by family owned and operated Monley Cronin, that home is an actuality. Situated in the beauti- fully revitalized West Sacramento, minutes from downtown Sacra- mento, Capital Estates maintains a distinctly rural and upscale feel. At completion, 36 homes on about an acre apiece will be built on two parallel cul-du-sac streets. It's part of the vision of Monley Cronin, which has served the Yolo, Sacra- mento and Solano area since 1975. "We're design- ing for a couple of differ- ent demographics," said Dick Cronin, president of Monley Cronin Construc- tion and Monley Cronin Inc., run in partnership with Dick's brother David Cronin. "We're selling to families who use the large lots for pools and recre- ation areas and we're sell- ing to grandparents who want to live closer to their families and might plant wine vineyards." West Sacramento has developed nicely in the past 15 to 20 years, he said, and Capital Estates sits in a "real sweet spot." Located a block and a half to the bicycle path that leads downtown, Capital Estates is only a half-mile from the Sacramento River Walk Park's views of Old Sacramento and the skyline. "These homes are built looking toward the future," said Cronin. "We've always been on the cutting edge of tech- nology, energy efficiency and top-quality details." In an innovative option at Capital Estates homes, Monley Cronin can also build a 1,200-square- foot detached casita on the property of each homesite. "It's a very nice one-bedroom casita," said Cronin, noting the company's goal of designing to meet the expectations of families' contemporary and transi- tioning lifestyles.
