The community

Eleven acres,
against the water.

A tucked-away enclave bordering a scenic waterway and nature trail, minutes from everything in Watsonville and a short drive from Santa Cruz, Monterey Bay and the coast. One hundred and forty-four homes, and the first new ones released here in nearly two decades.

20¢

Solar on every home

Your power costs about twenty cents a kilowatt-hour. PG&E charges about thirty-nine. Lease the system with zero down, maintained and insured for twenty-five years, or own it outright.

Every system

Quartz counters, wide-plank flooring, Milgard windows, WiFi thermostats, two-car garages and EV-ready wiring — under builder warranty, with none of the repairs an older house hands you.

The site plan

One hundred and
forty-four homes.

Eleven acres wrapped by a walking path and the slough. Amenities sit through the middle of the community rather than at one end, so nothing is more than a short walk from anything.
