ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. - Feb. 25, 2016 - PRLog -- 55+ homebuyers are highly motivated to choose from the wide array of single level luxury homes at Alondra and Cortesa by Shea Homes.

"I like Shea Homes because of the quality and the openness. I love the indoor/outdoor living," said Patricia Atallah, new homeowner at Cortesa.

The recommendations and suggestions they made were flawless and we have our next appointment in two days and I can hardly wait. It's just the most fun in the entire world."

These sentiments are widely shared by homebuyers at the two 55+ neighborhoods within beautiful Esencia.
