Pardee Homes' Cherry Hill at Moorpark Highlands--A Hilltop Getaway That Offers So Much...For Not So Much

    LOS ANGELES, CA, March 18, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- You won't find Cherry Hill at Moorpark Highlands by looking for freeway billboards or a trail of offsite signs pointing out the way. So it may come as a surprise that while Cherry Hill and its gracious master-planned community are in a panoramic setting of historic ranchland, they are also just over a mile from a bustling Moorpark thoroughfare.

Just take the 118 Freeway to Los Angeles Avenue exit and head west into Moorpark. Turn right on Spring Road, continue past Charles Street, and find the first signs to point you up the hill to this community, by award-winning Pardee Homes.

Enjoy a scenic boulevard drive and turn into Moorpark Highlands' welcoming, handsomely landscaped entry. Then head to Cherry Hill. Today, it offers the only opportunity to purchase a new home at Moorpark Highlands.

That opportunity is exceptional, with high-style homes all ready for move-in, at pricing that area Realtor and Cherry Hill resident Bob Pearson cites as a reason his clients are happy to see these homes. "Buyers who start in Westlake Village or Thousand Oaks generally have trouble satisfying their quality expectations, primarily because they find much older homes at the price point they want," said Pearson, who has 25+ years of experience in real estate sales.

"Those who expand their search radius about 10 minutes find Cherry Hill--and get updated designs, a gated neighborhood and this really gorgeous hilltop community," he added. "Westlake and Thousand Oaks have nothing to compare with this."

Priced from the upper $600,000s, Cherry Hill's detached homes offer approximately 2,601 to 3,479 square feet of living space plus a two-bay plus swing or three-bay tandem garage. Refined traditional architectural styling highlights the homes, which provide three to five bedrooms and three to four baths.

Single-level living highlights one design, which features its master bedroom suite, a secondary bedroom and a den/optional bedroom on the first floor, with an additional bedroom suite or loft secluded above. The other two plans offer a first-floor bedroom and adjacent bath that might be used for an older relative or as private guest quarters. Design versatility also includes a den, loft or workshop depending on plan choice.

Pardee Homes' commitment to quality living at Cherry Hill includes a greener way of life at home, as provided by the company's LivingSmart brand. Its included and optional features enhance energy efficiency, interior air quality and overall performance and comfort under EnergySmart, EarthSmart, HealthSmart and WaterSmart groupings.

Thus, buyers at Cherry Hill find much to like, and they do. They like the stylish, up to date and well-finished new homes. They like the scenic location. And they like the lifestyle this place makes possible for them and their children.

For Fred and Guia Salas, who moved from Los Angeles, the goal was simple: Guia Salas wanted a better environment in which to raise her children and Fred wanted to be closer to his work in Thousand Oaks. "Nothing felt right for us until we visited Cherry Hill in Moorpark Highlands," Guia said. "We love coming home to this quiet community up in the hills, so different from where we used to live. The skies are much clearer, and the view is lovely. We also like the extra privacy of a gated entry."

Noted Fred Salas, a microbiologist with a pharmaceutical company, "It's wonderful to drive around Cherry Hill and the Moorpark Highlands community, with the well-kept streets and friendly neighbors. Now our children can play in a pleasant neighborhood setting."

This setting now includes a terrific new park, opened just last summer. Mammoth Highlands Park is the city's 17th public park, and created from 7.5 acres donated by Pardee Homes. The park features children's play areas, designed and equipped for a range of ages. And you'll find an expansive multi-use field, picnic pavilion and picnic tables, a lighted tennis court, a basketball court, restrooms and parking.

Mammoth Highlands Park adds to other outdoor delights for residents of Moorpark Highlands. Among these are multi-purpose trails with links to surrounding open space and trails, as well as private pool centers that serve specific neighborhoods, including Cherry Hill. Two centers serve Cherry Hill residents, and both feature swimming and spa pools, lawn and deck seating.

Perhaps best of all at Moorpark Highlands is that living here means enjoying a beautiful enclave location--then zipping down the hill to reach "places to go, people to see, things to do" territory. Moorpark Marketplace is among the nearby destinations, adjacent to the 23 Freeway and with some 350,000 square feet of retail space, filled with clothing, shoes, house wares and specialty shops, plus popular cafes and restaurants. Close by is The Village at Moorpark, where you'll find a bank branch, coffee shop, office supplies, sporting goods and pet supplies.

So, whatever it is you need, you'll probably find it quite close to home if Moorpark Highlands is home. And with freeway access so easy, getting to even more choices, like those of Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village or Simi Valley, is a snap.
