Woodbridge Pacific Group is expanding housing opportunities in Palm Desert through its University Park development, which features three distinctive home collections designed to meet varied lifestyle needs and preferences. The Nova collection offers homes priced from the low $700,000s, featuring 2,328 to 2,751 square feet with 4 to 5 bedrooms. Notably, Nova includes innovative casita and accessory dwelling unit designs that appeal to empty nesters, first-time buyers, and multi-generational households.
Todd Cunningham, WPG President, highlighted the flexibility of these designs, emphasizing their potential for extended family visits, additional income generation, and enhanced resale value. The Nova homes feature self-contained layouts with separate entries, kitchenettes, and private living spaces. The Esprit collection provides an alternative for buyers, with homes ranging from $848,190 to $1,155,000. These residences offer 1,992 to 2,925 square feet, featuring 3 to 5 bedrooms and include Samsung appliances as standard.
Esprit homes boast luxurious features like spacious great rooms, island kitchens, and owners' suites with walk-in wardrobes. A limited Verve collection with just two remaining homes offers 2,318 square feet of living space, priced from $809,900. These two-story plans include unique features like rear-entry two-car garages and flexible hobby spaces. The University Park location provides strategic advantages, including proximity to the 10 Freeway and key destinations.
Nearby amenities include Eisenhower Health, quality schools through Desert Sands and Palm Springs Unified School Districts, and recreational opportunities like El Paseo Shopping District and the Acrisure Arena. Residents can enjoy The Grove, the master plan's amenity center, which offers resort and lap pools, fitness facilities, playgrounds, pickleball courts, and outdoor gathering spaces. Nearby parks provide additional recreational options, including a dog park and sports facilities.
The development caters to diverse buyer needs, from those seeking a primary residence to winter home owners, with homes designed to provide indoor-outdoor connectivity, luxurious interiors, and flexible living arrangements. The inclusion of accessory dwelling units represents a significant trend in addressing housing affordability and multi-generational living needs, while the range of price points and home sizes creates accessibility across different buyer segments. The strategic location near major transportation corridors and essential services enhances the development's long-term value proposition for residents.
