Cypress Village: Tristania Collection Review

Cypress Village’s newest neighborhood, Tristania, open a few weeks ago. Located in the newest enclave, these homes are between the 133 toll road and Ridge Valley, south of Trabuco/Great Park Road. The Tristania collection is built by California Pacific Homes and consists of 150 attached townhomes with four different floor plans, ranging from 1,606 – 1,934 square feet. Residences 1 and 2 will always be middle units, while residences 3 and 3Z will always be end units. Most buildings will be four units – one of each model. All homes have 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, with all the bedrooms on the second floor. Each house also has a 2-car garage with a private driveway, rather than a shared motor court. While residence 1 has an optional loft in lieu of the third bedroom, there aren’t any other alternatives to the floor plans. Elevations include Early California, Santa Barbara, and Formal Spanish.

Cypress Village – Lantana Collection Review

A couple of weeks ago, I introduced you to a new enclave in Cypress Village, located between the 133 toll road and Ridge Valley on the south side of Trabuco/Great Park Road. The Lantana collection is a neighborhood of 136 attached townhomes ranging from 1,231 – 1,526 square feet. There are five primary residences, though the 1 and 1X are quite similar. Most buildings will have either six or eight units. Residences 1, 1X and 2 are always 3-story, middle units; residences 3 and 4 are 2-story units, located on the end in a 6-unit building, but may be end or middle units in an 8-unit building. All homes have an attached 2-car garage. The homes range from 2 – 4 bedrooms and 2.5 – 3.5 bathrooms. Aside from an optional loft in residence four, the homes do not have customizable options to the layout.

Cypress Village: New Enclave Overview

Last month, Cypress Village opened a new enclave with three new collections. The enclave is bordered by the 133 toll road on the west, Ridge Valley on the east, Trabuco on the north (Trabuco’s name changes to Great Park Road on the east side of Sand Canyon), and Marine Way on the south. One collection, Tristania, is supposed to have its grand opening on September 24. Residents will be part of the Cypress Village Community Association and have access to all of Cypress Village’s parks and pools.  Each collection will also have its own set of HOA dues.

Stonegate: Auburn Collection Review

Stonegate’s newest neighborhood, Auburn, opened on August 20, 2016. The homes are quite large, ranging from 3,210 – 5,250 square feet. There are four primary residences, but the largest one (Chelsea X) is not expected to open until December. There will be 74 total homes with an average lots size of only 5,000 square feet. These homes are near the northeast corner of the village, bordered by Portola to the north and with just one neighborhood separating it from Sand Canyon to the east. Despite their size, these homes only have a two-car garage. The homes range from 4-6 bedrooms and 4.5 – 6.5 bathrooms. Most offer a bonus room and they all have a wide range of options to customize the layout.  The Chelsea X model includes a finished basement, complete with a great room, wine room, flex room, a media room, and options for an additional two bedrooms.
