Putting Family First Makes Decision to Move Up to Canyon Hills in Lake Elsinore an Easy Choice for Eastvale Family; New Homes by Pardee Priced from the low $300,000s at Amberleaf

    LAKE ELSINORE, CA, November 10, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The advantages of living in Canyon Hills in Lake Elsinore add up to everything that one former Eastvale family was seeking, including a brand new home that has everything they ever wanted, from four bedrooms and a loft to a three-bay garage, open space vistas, and most importantly, somewhere that had more to offer their kids.

Lenny and Helena Ledbetter, who recently moved into a spacious, Plan 4 at Pardee Homes' Amberleaf, are excited to be in their dream home and reflected on how they found the home and community that was exactly what they wanted. With friends living in the area, they were drawn to take a look at Canyon Hills, knowing that a neighborhood with parks, schools, pools and open space would be a good fit for them and their two young children. With two older children away at college, a home with extra bedrooms made sense as well.

"We first looked at Pardee's Summerfield neighborhood at Canyon Hills, found a home we really liked and started the homebuying process," said Lenny Ledbetter. "But fate stepped in, or rather our 11-year old daughter Jenna did, who, along with our friend, toured Pardee's Amberleaf model homes, made friends with the sales team and then begged us to take a look. Helena and I were amazed to discover another great floorplan worth considering. From the outdoor room to the loft, the Amberleaf home is perfect for our family. Not to mention that our driving decision to live in a community like Canyon Hills has been fulfilled. The parks are great for our three-year old and there is plenty of open space for walking the dogs. I do have a longer commute to work in Fullerton, but once I'm home its worth every bit of the drive."

Located west of Canyon Lake, Canyon Hills offers convenient shopping, neighborhood and community parks, schools, a dog park, splash pad, tot lots and two "residents only" recreation centers with swimming pools. Canyon Hills' most significant feature, however, is its preserved open space, totaling more than 900 acres.

New homes at Amberleaf are priced from the low $300,000s and offer a total of five floorplans, featuring homes with Spanish, Tuscan, Italian and Traditional style exteriors. These spacious, single-family detached homes have a range of three to five bedrooms, up to three and one-half baths and approximately 1,646 to 2,629 square feet of living space. Optional features such as lofts, covered patios, master bedroom decks, game rooms and third-bay garages are available. All homes offer great room living, casual dining areas and large kitchen islands.

Gourmet kitchens include slab granite countertops, a recycling center and convenient storage pantry, ceramic tile flooring and General Electric stainless steel finish appliances. Distinctive interiors have architecturally specified recessed lighting, custom radius wall corners, convenient rear yard access via a French door or sliding glass door and a choice of ceramic tile flooring in the entry and kitchen and earth-friendly carpeting in designer-selected colors throughout the rest of the house.

"Two floor plans at Amberleaf feature the GenSmart Suite(TM), designed for families seeking extra room to accommodate unique living situations," said Matt Sauls, vice president of marketing and product development for Pardee Homes. "Buyers are thrilled with this option for today and the future, whether they need space for house guests, live-in help, children returning home from college or for multi-generational family members."

Homes at Amberleaf also include Pardee's LivingSmart program with energy-saving and earth-friendly measures to improve indoor quality of life including Low-E spectrally selective glass windows and a Solar City roof-mounted solar electric system. The LivingSmart brand, with additional standard and optional measures, boosts energy-efficiency, saves water, improves indoor air quality and encourages material conservation and the use of recycled or sustainable resources.

"Working with Pardee Homes has been a pleasure," added Ledbetter, who had purchased two other homes in the past. "There wasn't a glitch from start to finish and we found it refreshing to work with the entire team from sales to customer service. We were able to get extra lighting, extra power in the garage and upgraded flooring which all adds up to an outstanding experience."
