Woodbridge Pacific Group is currently offering a limited selection of new homes at University Park in Palm Desert, with two distinct collections targeting different buyer segments and price points. The development represents a significant addition to the Coachella Valley housing market, providing options ranging from mid-$600,000s to mid-$800,000s in a master-planned community with extensive amenities.
The Nova collection, priced from the mid $600,000s, appeals to empty nesters, first-time buyers, seniors, and multi-generational households. These homes range from 2,331 to 2,751 square feet with 4 to 5 bedrooms and 3.5 to 4.5 bathrooms. The designs feature great room layouts, through-plan views, private side courts for indoor/outdoor connectivity, and sleek kitchens designed for both entertaining and daily use. A notable feature includes secluded primary suites with spa baths and walk-in wardrobes, enhancing the luxurious quality of these residences.
Nova's casita and accessory dwelling unit (ADU) layouts represent a growing trend in California housing, offering separate living spaces with sleeping areas, bathrooms, compact kitchenettes, and private entries. These units provide flexibility for various lifestyle needs, serving as independent spaces for parents, live-in help, long-term guests, or generating rental income. The potential for higher resale value makes these configurations particularly attractive to buyers considering long-term investment potential.
The Esprit collection, now selling in limited availability with prices starting in the mid $800,000s, offers larger homes ranging from 2,735 to 2,925 square feet. These residences feature 4 to 5 bedrooms and 3 to 3.5 baths, with spacious great rooms and island kitchens that connect seamlessly to outdoor lounges and courtyards. Luxury owners' suites include large walk-in wardrobes and compartmented spa baths, while additional features may include portico entries, alcove dining areas, and overlook views from staircases.
Financing assistance is available through preferred lender U.S. Bank, with expert guidance available to help potential buyers determine optimal financing scenarios. This support is particularly important in the current housing market, where navigating mortgage options can be challenging for many buyers.
University Park's strategic location near the 10 Freeway at the intersection of Gerald Ford Drive and Portola Road provides convenient access to essential services and employment centers. The proximity to Eisenhower Health facilities makes the community particularly attractive to healthcare professionals and residents seeking ready access to medical services throughout Palm Desert, Palm Springs, North Palm Springs, Indio and surrounding areas.
The development benefits from strong educational infrastructure, with the Desert Sands Unified School District and Palm Springs Unified serving University Park with quality K-12 schools. This educational foundation is crucial for family buyers considering long-term residency in the area.
Recreational and shopping amenities abound in the vicinity, with the El Paseo Shopping District and the new Acrisure Arena providing retail, dining, and entertainment options. The Grove at University Park serves as the community's amenity center, featuring resort and lap pools, gathering rooms, fitness facilities, pickleball courts, event spaces, and multiple recreational areas. Additional nearby parks offer dog-friendly spaces, basketball courts, and covered play areas, enhancing the community's appeal for active lifestyles.
