SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif. - March 29, 2016 - PRLog -- By 55 plus, homebuyers have a picture in their mind of how life is supposed to be. For many, that vision has taken shape at Alondra and Cortesa by Shea Homes. Not only do these collections provide an array of seven different single-level designs, they are set amid the scenic community of Esencia in Rancho Mission Viejo. Combine intriguing new home choices and a fabulous lifestyle and life is suddenly the way it's meant to be.

"We often hear buyers remark that they've found exactly what they were looking for," said Janet Benavidez, vice president of sales and marketing for Shea Homes. "The quality of the design and craftsmanship that the two collections share, and the naturally beautiful surroundings of the community are fulfilling a lot of active adults' dreams."

At Alondra, three spacious single-level designs range from approximately 2,330 to 3,004 square feet, with 2 to 3 bedrooms, and 2.5 baths. Each plan has its own special personality, and all cater to the love of indoor/outdoor entertaining and personal luxury in its many fine details. Optional second story lofts/bonus rooms are available and invite dedicated home-office space, a bunkroom for grandkids or a media/hobby room. Outdoor living areas invite al fresco relaxation, and add to the sense of spacious openness of the interiors. A unique feature of Alondra's plans is a second master suite with attached bath and walk-in closet. All secondary bedrooms have private baths, and each floor plan includes a den. The homes also check the boxes on the kitchen wish list, with large islands for casual dining or conversation between chefs and guests. Pricing at Alondra begins from the low to mid $900,000's.

More choices for the perfect design are part of Cortesa's collection. Four comfortable and gracious single-level floor plans are available. Cortesa's homes are both spacious and manageable, with plans ranging from 1,816 to 2,362 square feet, with 2 to 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 2-garages. The addition of a loft offers space for self-expression, with room for a studio, game room or TV lounge. Open space design keeps the flow of natural light and conversation going throughout the main living areas. Beautifully detailed kitchens have that "everything's-brand-new" excitement, from cabinetry and countertops to stainless steel appliances. Indoor/outdoor living areas are another must-have that Cortesa provides. Each secondary bedroom features its own private bath, making them welcoming for guests, or use as a second master. Pricing at Cortesa begins from the mid $700,000s.
