The Preserve by Shea Homes

An Introduction

The Preserve was developed by Shea Homes and consists of 231 homes. In July of 1997, which is the date of the earliest builder price list that I have in my files, the pricing began at $141,150 for the 1,222 square foot Sontera model. At present, prices range from $200,000 to $300,000 with the highest values, of course, going to those homes with the most attractive settings and views.

There were six different models offered (with a total of ten floor plan variations) ranging in size from 1,222 square feet to 2,132 square feet. Each model was offered in three different exterior “elevations” and also had a number of customizable exterior options which gave the community a more varied and attractive look. All of the homes feature 2 car garages.

This community is located just south of the Desert Canyon Shopping Center and west of 105th Street. There are a number of cul-de-sac streets and about a third of the homes back to natural area open space with mountain views.
