Pardee Homes Offers Reduced Prices at Highlands Village; New Carmel Valley Townhomes From the Mid-$400,000s

    SAN DIEGO, CA, August 31, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Pardee Homes has announced that they have reduced prices on move-in ready townhomes at Highlands Village at Carmel Country Highlands. The builder is offering this special for a limited time on their popular Plan 1 and Plan 1X models, and will also include $10,000 towards HOA dues or closing costs.

"This is great time to buy and an exceptional opportunity to live the Carmel Valley lifestyle without the typical Carmel Valley price," said Rachel Collins, director of sales for Pardee Homes. "Coastal-close Highlands Village offers affordability, location, lifestyle and now special pricing and incentives for these stylish move-in ready two bedroom townhomes."

Priced from the mid $400,000s, the versatile Highlands Village Plan 1 is a great choice for first-time buyers who may want a roommate or are thinking of co-purchasing a home because it is available with two traditional bedrooms or with two, very equal, yet separate master bedroom suites. The configuration with two dual master bedrooms includes two full bathrooms with showers and tubs, dual sinks and large walk-in closets. Either way, with nearly 1,300 square feet, they are both great floor plans with an open living/dining room, big kitchen, pantry and direct access to the two-bay garage.

An extensive list of included features such as fully-equipped kitchens with slab granite countertops, luxurious master baths and large walk-in closets is complemented by Pardee's LivingSmart package of standard and optional measures that boost energy efficiency, save water and improve indoor air quality.

In addition to a great location above Carmel Valley, convenient shopping, beautiful beaches and a variety of other nearby amenities in Carmel Valley, Highlands Village is the ideal choice for today's savvy homebuyer. Homeowners enjoy access to an exclusive 11,000 square foot recreation and activity center. This spectacular amenity is the ideal spot for relaxation or entertaining with its elegant clubhouse that includes a spacious great room with fireplace, fully-equipped kitchen, media room, on-site business center and game room. There's also a swimming pool, spa, multi-purpose room, kid's play area, a fitness center with weights and cardio equipment, and locker rooms.

Bringing it all together is the Pardee Buying Smart program, an easy interactive guide to buying a home. The process helps the buyer through financing, design choices, construction, escrow and moving with handy worksheets, a mortgage calculator and even a wish list to capture everything the buyer is looking for in a new home.

Highlands Village offers a total of five floor plans that have from two to four bedrooms, two and one-half baths and approximately 1,274 to 2,069 square feet. Pardee plans on building 167 two-story townhomes at this location, which is the last new home neighborhood to be built in the Carmel Country Highlands master planned community.

Comprising more than 800 acres, Pardee's master-planned community of Carmel Country Highlands is perched high atop a breathtaking ridge in San Diego's North County. The community overlooks nearby horse trails, open space and preserved open hills, all of which unfold around a number of close-knit neighborhoods including Pardee's Bridle Ridge and Carriage Run, both offering new, single-family detached homes.
