I currently live in the community and can happily call this place home
Some highlights:
Became good friends with my neighbors that surround our lot. They're good people with awesome kids. Three of them are owners (not renting). A couple colleagues of mine purchased recently and just moved into their homes at the other neighborhoods as well.
My family and I love to use the parks (including two gated dog) + walking trails (which connect to Serrano Creek). There are plenty of dogs and families who go out for an evening stroll now that the community is more built out.
The community center is insane and offers an incredible value; $280/month HOA is worth the cost given the amenities provided. For big events, homeowners are able to reserve a private event space that holds 100+ guests at the community center for $300. Also, there is a system to reserve other event spaces in the community center free of charge. As a bonus, one of those spaces hosts a huge pizza oven.
Home appreciated significantly after purchasing Phase 1
Oh, to add: the community is more diverse than advertised. I’ve met families who are African American, Caucasian, Vietnamese, Korean, Filipino, Japanese, Persian, Indian, among others. Of course, Chinese / Taiwanese as well
