While Bay Area real estate continues to be some of the most ex- pensive in the country, many home shoppers are making the move to greater Sacramento. With more flexibility due to remote work lifestyles, homebuyers are discovering how much more home they can get for their money across Sacramento's most popular locations. "We are experiencing an increase of home- buyers from the Bay Area who are finding they have greater pur- chasing power in the Sacramento market," says Michelle Velky, division president of Lennar Sacramento. "Homebuyers real- ize they can get much greater value than in the Bay Area, which is why we've seen people at every stage of life, including first-time homebuyers at some of our more afford- able communities and Lennar offers homes for every lifestyle with 49 active communities across greater Sacramento See LENNAR Pg 3 enjoy the same resources and programming. River Islands High School has just wel- comed its first class to the Ninth Grade Acad- emy. Given the enor- mity of the construction process, the school is being built in phases, introducing a new class every year until the en- tire high school is com- plete in 2025. The design and construction of new schools is always on- going, to keep pace with the number of families moving to the community. With 13 lakes, a dozen parks and miles of trails al- ready in place, River Islands offers an ap- pealing lifestyle, earn- ing its nickname "the home of the 7-day weekend." On August 20, Breakwater by Tri Pointe Homes is sell- ing its model homes, fully furnished and landscaped. Model homes often include decorator features and built-ins not offered in the standard homes, and the opportunity to purchase a model fully furnished is a rarity. There are three mod- els being offered for touring at Breakwater, from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday, with sales counselors on hand at 2799 Orion Court. There are currently a dozen new-home communities for sale in River Islands, with more in the planning and design process to ensure a steady flow of new floor plans, home sizes and prices. With so many people work- ing from home, flex- ible floor plans and extra bedrooms have been very popular. It is not uncommon to see a tech center, a dedicated homework space and one or two home offices in a single home. A "hot sheet" of weekly fea- tured homes is avail- able at the Welcome Center. Neighborhood prices vary widely based on the size of the homes being of- fered and their ame- nities, but generally, home pricing starts in the low $600,000s and ranges up to over $1 million. The River Islands master plan allows for approximately 15,000 residences to be built on its 5,000-acre site. The land development team is always work- ing on future areas for development in the project to ensure that builders are able to provide new-home of- ferings throughout the course of the year, for years to come. The best place to start a tour of River Islands is online, at www.RiverIslands. com. All of the floor plans, elevations and video tours are avail- able online. Current pricing for every neighborhood is avail- able on the site.
