The Palm Desert real estate market is experiencing a significant boost with the introduction of Nova at University Park, a new residential development by Woodbridge Pacific Group that offers diverse housing options starting in the high $600,000s. The project features homes ranging from 2,328 to 2,751 square feet with 4 to 5 bedrooms and 3.5 to 4.5 bathrooms, but what truly distinguishes these properties is the incorporation of Accessory Dwelling Unit layouts. These self-contained units provide sleeping and living space, a bathroom, washer/dryer space, and a compact kitchen, offering homeowners additional flexibility for multi-generational living, long-term guests, or potential rental income.
Todd Cunningham, WPG President, emphasized the versatility of the ADU designs, noting that buyers are seeking solutions that address lifestyle needs both now and in the future. This flexibility appeals to a wide range of homebuyers including empty nesters, first-time homeowners, seniors, and multi-generational families who require adaptable living arrangements. The development's strategic location near the 10 Freeway provides convenient access to key destinations including Eisenhower Medical Center, schools within the Desert Sands Unified School District and Palm Springs Unified, and popular retail and dining areas like the El Paseo Shopping District.
Residents of Nova at University Park will have access to The Grove, the master plan's amenity center featuring resort-style pools, gathering rooms, a fitness center, and various outdoor recreational areas. The development also benefits from proximity to nearby parks including a dog park and a park with covered play areas and sports facilities. WPG is offering financing opportunities to potential buyers through reduced interest rates and special incentives, with Jeff Weirsma from US Bank available to assist buyers in navigating the purchase process.
The introduction of Nova at University Park represents a meaningful development in Palm Desert's housing landscape by addressing evolving homeowner needs through flexible ADU options combined with community amenities. This combination of high-quality homes, adaptable living spaces, and strategic location positions Nova as an attractive investment opportunity in the California desert region.
