Overview of Tesoro Highlands
The new subdivisions in Tesoro Highlands currently include Arches, Montilla, Bella Terra, Alta Monte, Campana, Toscana, Toscana Ⅱ, Estrada, Paseo, Avila, Sierra Bella and Sierra Bella Ⅱ. Toll Brothers is responsible for the luxury homes in Bella Terra and Alta Monte, while Lennar is leading the development of the remaining communities. Both builders have skillfully designed the homes to complement the natural beauty of the area, incorporating the scenic hillsides and open spaces into the layout.
Construction Progress
Construction is moving ahead swiftly. Lennar is moving quickly on Arches and Montilla while Toll Brothers is making great strides with their luxury homes in Bella Terra and Alta Monte. Many homes have already been sold, others are still under construction, and more are coming soon. The seasonal views here truly enhance the charm of the community. Residents are also delighted with the expansion and enhancements of the trails, always a popular attraction among homeowners.
Lennar is also nearing completion on the last few homes in Campana, and Avila is complete. Construction is essentially finished in the first four 55+ neighborhoods. The Toscana and Sierra Bella neighborhoods are complete and most of Estrada, and Paseo are also finished. Also, construction has commenced on Sierra Bella Ⅱ and Toscana Ⅱ! Active adults will be pleased to know that most of the 55+ homes are single-story models, offering convenient and comfortable living.
Gated Neighborhoods
Many of the subdivisions will feature gated access, including Arches, Montilla, Avila, Alta Monte, and Bella Terra, which will share common gates. The 55+ neighborhoods will also share their own exclusive gated entrances.
We’re especially excited about the new active adult neighborhoods—Sierra Bella, Toscana, Paseo, and Estrada—collectively known as The 55+ Villas at Tesoro Highlands.
When it comes to buying a home, there are currently only a handful of age-restricted neighborhoods in the Santa Clarita Valley. While rental communities do exist, having more homeownership opportunities for seniors is a welcome and much-needed addition to the area.
