LivingSmart Homes by Pardee Ideally Located for Inland Empire Commuter; New Homes in Master-Planned Tournament Hills Priced from the High $100,000s

    BEAUMONT, CA, July 24, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Pardee's LivingSmart Homes community at Tournament Hills in Beaumont is ideally located in Southern California with proximity to all of the Inland Empire and Palm Springs, making it a great home base for field nurse Deborah Moore who recently purchased a new Plan 6 home. Her demanding job has her traveling from Rancho Mirage to Temecula, and sometimes even San Diego, but she says the location works out very well.

"I needed a larger home than my previous residence in Rancho Cucamonga, and started looking about three years ago," said Moore. "A visit to the models on the way back from Palm Springs was all it took. It didn't take even one day for me to make up my mind about LivingSmart Homes. This is my sixth home, and the best purchase I've every made."

Priced from the high $100,000s, LivingSmart Homes include both one- and two story floor plans with three to seven bedrooms, two to four baths, two and three-bay garages and approximately 1,132 to 3,099 square feet. Ingenious touches such as gourmet kitchens with slab granite and stainless steel appliances are complemented by a host of room options such as media niches, extra bedrooms, fireplaces, garage workshops, master bedroom decks and a four-bay garage in select plans.

Deborah Moore is a golfer, and is also pleased with the gated, Tournament Hills community which adjoins the 36-hole East Valley Golf Club, and includes a gorgeous private lake and about seven acres of park space, walking trails, picnic areas and a new elementary school.

"The value of this home, and this community, is incredible," added Moore. "I got a good deal and the home is beautiful. The kitchen is absolutely gorgeous and has an eating area and opens to the family room, making it easy to interact with family and guests. There's even a downstairs bedroom that works perfectly for my home office, not to mention the solid construction, which is great."

The homes are brimming with a wealth of features and recent updates include the addition of several new standard features such as sleek matching master bath mirrors, contemporary sinks and furniture-style cabinetry. Other features include designer-selected interior light fixtures and architecturally specified recessed lighting, separate interior laundry rooms and spacious master bedroom suites with luxurious bathrooms, private dressing areas and walk-in closets. To make buying a new home even easier, Pardee offers a variety of optional features including value kitchen packages, home wiring packages, bath fixture bundles and LivingSmart packages.

Standard energy-efficient features include Energy Star rated dishwashers, low-E spectrally selective glass windows, fluorescent lights in select recessed cans, dimmer switches and occupancy sensors, and radiant barrier roof sheathing. Buyers can also add such earth-friendly options as roof-integrated solar electric power systems, high- efficiency air filtration systems, tankless water heaters, WaterSmart controllers for landscape, reverse osmosis water system in the kitchen, central vacuum systems, and more. Energy efficiency in a LivingSmart home exceeds California's Title 24 criteria, already the toughest in the nation.

LivingSmart Homes by Pardee are also available in master-planned Canyon Hills in Lake Elsinore. The community offers homeowners trails, parks, schools, convenient shopping and two residents-only recreation centers with beautiful swimming pools, not to mention its proximity to all the great recreational activities that make Lake Elsinore popular with boat enthusiasts, skydivers, wakeboarders and cyclists.
