…a brand-new way of living


Established in 1999, this 4,000-acre master-planned community is a bit different than most other communities. For one, streets were built to reduce traffic and feature a number of roundabouts and cul-de-sacs. Houses are grouped into neighborhoods, which are then part of villages—many of which have clubhouses themed on a particular architectural style. Each village contains its own parks, pools, playgrounds and open areas. You follow so far?

It’s really much simpler than it sounds.

We're thinking such a newfangled area is bound to have some unique features, right? Of course. Listen up entrepreneurs—Front Street and Banister Street have live-at-home/work-at-home developments designed specifically for the home business, compliant with business codes and complete with their own separate storefront entrances. And Bridgepark Plaza boosts convenience to a new level with a 10-acre shopping plaza at the community entrance.

So, if you're looking for a living situation just a little out-of-the-box, here are some fresh ideas set against the backdrop of gorgeous SoCal.
