Arizona Homebuilder: CalAtlantic Homes

Yesterday I was out & about on some errands when a builder's sign caught my eye.  I did a complete rubber neck, turned my car right around & went to find out just what was going on.  Am I ever glad I did, because I stumbled upon this.  My errands didn't get done, but this? This was worth it. Forty-three lots tucked off of Val Vista, just south of Elliot on a little in-fill piece of land. 

An in-fill piece is always a gem.  I love them.  Back when I was working in land development for a local home builder, I'd love when we could find these little pieces tucked into already established neighborhoods for a couple reasons. The first being, you won't be living in a construction zone, everything around you is already built!  In this house & our last one, we were/are in a new subdivision that still had a lot of building to be done.  I will tell you I may have yelled at construction workers on more than one occasion in my old house -- mostly when they were violating noise codes.  As you can imagine, they loved that I knew the exact code, annnnd feel free to laugh yourself silly at the picture of me, post baby at 6 am hollering for the superintendent.  It was a proud moment for my husband.  But I digress, the second thing I appreciate about infill pieces is because everything is built, you don't have to worry about protecting your investment as much.  You know the zoning won't be changed on the empty parcel next to you, because its not empty!  And mostly I love them, because they tend to be in prime locations.  This one has great freeway access, awesome school & is surrounded by daily conveniences.

So let's get to the good stuff on this project by CalAtlantic Homes.

They are offering 5 floorplans & I haven't been excited about a floorplan like this big one in a long time.  They just did it right.  It works.  The layout, the spacing.  If you're looking for something 5 bedroom, this might be it.  And while the lots aren't huge, they are definitely pool-sized.

Most importantly though, they got the kitchen & family room area right. 

That is a WINDOW SEAT in your kitchen...and there are two of them.  My heart might have swooned.

That island...it's about the size of a football field.  Perfect for kids & friends & family to all gather around.

And even in the smaller floorplans, they did the same thing, BIG ISLANDS.  I love when that happens.

For more information, shoot me a text at 480-332-3450 and I can get you all the details on their current incentives (over $20k up for grabs!) and arrange and appointment for you to preview the project.  It's pretty dreamy if you ask me.
