Open-Air Specialty Center Opening for Ventura County Residents!

How many times have you told your family, “One day we’ll have a beautiful new home that we can really be proud of.”? “One day” is now with Shea Homes, where innovative floor plans, thoughtful designs, award-winning customer service and affordable financing programs can turn your far-off new-home dream into an immediate reality.

Shea Properties announces that the plan to complete construction of the Collection at Riverpark is moving forward. Ventura County residents have been waiting patiently for The Collection to open, especially those living in the Riverpark community. The Collection is a 600,000 square foot, open air specialty center which will consist of retail stores, restaurants and theaters. Retail includes Target, Whole Foods, REI, as well as Starbucks Coffee, Menchies Frozen Yogurt, Five Guys Burgers and Fries, and Panera Bread. Massage Envy and Color Me Mine are also planning a fall opening. Other announcements will be made in the coming weeks as leases are finalized.

Right now at these two spacious townhome and courtyard style communities, Shea Homes Representatives are showing homebuyers how to “One Day” own it, even for the first time. Imagine enjoying a coastal Oxnard lifestyle and amenity rich RiverPark surroundings. Picture a brand new home with all new features and energy efficiency. Why rent when you can own it?

Shea homes are known for superior quality, outstanding locations and value that goes well beyond price. They’re also recognized as a caring, buyer-first builder who can show buyers, step-by-step, how to achieve their goals.

“Our new “One day is now with Shea homes” presents unprecedented opportunities for buyers while the select homes last,” stated Janet Benavidez, vice president of sales and marketing, “Visiting our RiverPark neighborhoods now is an absolute must for those who have waited for the perfect time, price, place and lifestyle to come together. Low interest rates can make it possible to have a “One day” and enjoy monthly payments that are comparable to what they’re spending now to rent. Ask the Sales Representative at the neighborhood to show you the facts and figures, but don’t delay!”

Reflections' uniquely designed two-story attached homes are a perfect fit for the lifestyles and budgets of first-time homebuyers. Living areas measure approximately 1,338 to 1,475 square feet, including up to four bedrooms and two and one-half baths plus a covered porch or balcony and a two-car garage. Varying plans feature a versatile loft or a gourmet kitchen island, and every residence is enhanced by fine appointments, including granite kitchen countertops and European Thermafoil cabinets in a choice of three colors. Prices start in the low $200,000s.

Boardwalk presents spacious two-story courtyard residences that are ideal for young families. With prices beginning in the mid $200,000s, the homes extend from approximately 1,800 to 2,124 square feet and encompass up to five bedrooms and two to three baths, and varying plans take on the added dimension of a master-suite retreat, bonus room or secluded study. One plan features a downstairs bedroom with a full bathroom. Touches of luxury extend throughout the homes, from granite kitchen countertops to stainless steel appliances.

RiverPark's extensive array of community amenities includes eight neighborhood parks that offer recreation opportunities ranging from tennis and basketball courts to children's playgrounds. Two brand-new schools within RiverPark, Rio Del Mar Elementary and Rio Vista Middle School , are both just a short distance from the Shea Homes neighborhoods.

The centerpiece of the Oxnard coastline is Channel Islands Harbor , which offers fun-filled water activities for the whole family. The Harbor features several beach-lined parks for picnicking, as well as nearby biking and walking paths. The Harbor also offers excursions to Channel Islands National Park , a unique ocean environment that is home to more than 2,000 terrestrial plants and animals.

All these possibilities are just one visit away. Buyers are urged to visit Shea Homes’ RiverPark neighborhoods and get answers from Sales Representatives.
