Pardee Homes' GenSmart Suite at Meadow Ridge Meets the Needs of Today's Homebuyers

    LAKE ELSINORE, CA, July 31, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Pardee Homes' new home neighborhood, Meadow Ridge at Canyon Hills in Lake Elsinore, features seven new floor plans and the introduction of the GenSmart Suite, the smart solution for multigenerational living. With a record 51.4 million Americans living in multigenerational households, according to Pew Research Center, Pardee Homes created this 'home within a home', which in just two short months has become a big hit with Inland Empire home shoppers.

"Due to buyer demand we project that half of the homes at Meadow Ridge will include a GenSmart Suite," said Matt Sauls, regional marketing director for Pardee Homes. "We know that today's households are changing, often to accommodate elderly parents, young adults, sons and daughters returning from military service or family members dealing with life transitions such as divorce or illness. The GenSmart Suite provides the space for all of these situations, or can even serve as an office or nanny's room, because it includes a private entry, living area and sleeping and eating spaces."

The GenSmart Suite allows family members private space and the benefits of sharing a home. With the number of parents living with their adult children on the rise as much as 60 percent since 2000, the GenSmart Suite provides a time-tested solution for caring for elderly parents.

Meadow Ridge includes both one- and two-story floor plans, with pricing from the low $300,000s. A total of 147 single-family detached homes are planned. Floor plans range in size from approximately 2,385 to 4,241 square feet with up to seven bedrooms, three to five baths, and three- and four-bay garages.

Each of the two-story plans includes a downstairs bedroom and a unique optional 12-foot glider window package at the covered patio on select plans. Welcoming front porch entries, extra large kitchen islands, game rooms, optional outdoor rooms and Pardee Homes' GenSmart Suite are among the most exciting features. Three homes are modeled.

Impressive exteriors have Spanish, Craftsman or Italian architectural design with shutters, wood and stone veneer accents, and all homes come with water-friendly front yard landscaping and an irrigation controller. Interior amenities, such as slab granite kitchen countertops, a kitchen storage pantry, recycling center, large walk in closets in the master bedroom suite and dual zone air conditioning are included as well.

Homes at Meadow Ridge have Pardee Homes' LivingSmart package of standard and optional features that boost energy efficiency, save water, improve indoor air quality and encourage material conservation and the use of recycled or sustainable resources. Amenities such as dimmer switches and occupancy sensors, radiant barrier roof sheathing, Low-E spectrally selected glass windows, low VOC interior paint, Delta Water-Sense labeled faucets and GE Energy Star dishwashers are standard. Available LivingSmart features, available at an additional cost and subject to construction cutoff dates, include a Sunpower roof-inset solar electric power system, GE Energy Star refrigerator, tankless water heater, LED lighting, central vacuum system and electric car charging station.

"Meadow Ridge brings a new level of sophistication and upscale living to master planned Canyon Hills and it is certain to fulfill the homeownership expectations of today's move-up buyers,"
added Sauls.

Ideally located west of Canyon Lake in the foothills of Lake Elsinore, the nearly 2,000-acre master-planned community of Canyon Hills includes schools, neighborhood parks and recreation centers including Creekside Park and Creekside Recreation Center, which has a junior Olympic-size pool, clubhouse, picnic areas, playground and half basketball court.
