With memorial day behind us, we can now turn to thoughts of summer. For many in the bay area, that means thoughts of gardening. At our new attached homes community in Sunnyvale, Las Palmas, the team of landscaping pros have thought a lot about what makes a garden beautiful. Rows of beautifully manicured palm trees dot the landscape and everywhere you’ll see beautifu...
It seems like everyone is trying to buy in Sunnyvale. At least that's our impression watching all the brisk sales activity at Las Palmas, the new home community in Sunnyvale (and its not just an impression. The number of homes sold in Santa Clara County jumped 27.4% in April and the average number of days on the market dropped to just 22 days!). So we keep gettin...
This is great! On April 17th, the SummerHill Homes new home community Maravilla was acknowledged with the prestigious “Public Private Partnership Award” by the Association of Bay Area Governments. This was at the eighth annual “Growing Smarter Together Awards” presented during the spring General Assembly to the cities of Redwood City, Walnut Creek, Campbell, R...
SummerHill Homes has a lot of moms working in our office and with Mother’s Day just around the corner (Sunday, May 11th, and we’re guessing if you are a mom you already knew that) we thought we would share some tips to make sure the moms out there are treated to a really special day. These tips are borrowed from conversations we’ve had with the moms at our offi...

A few days ago, NBC Bay Area ran a story about the South Bay Housing market. According to NBC, the South Bay housing market is so hot that sellers are pulling out at the last minute. Cancelling the sale. Saying “nevermind.” Why? Because the sellers worry they might become homeless themselves if they sell! This is brand new. Unprecedented. And we’ll add this to t...
The Grand Opening of the Model Homes at Las Palmas in Sunnyvale is the weekend of April 26. We’re hearing interest from employees at Facebook, LinkedIn, Google, Yahoo, Apple, and lots of smaller companies too. One nice aspect of life at Las Palmas that many of these folks seem to value is “walkability.” We thought a lot about building for a contemporary, l...
Spring is in the air and that means its baseball season! The Giants season opener is today, and around here everybody’s wearing orange. One of our favorite things about a ballgame is getting there. See, with CalTrain you get the party started early because on game days the train is filled with Giants fans and the excitement builds and builds as you get closer and c...
One of the biggest challenges of opening a community is telling people the date of that grand opening. Because setting that date means you are reasonably confident in so many factors being in place: model homes built, interior and landscape designs ready for unveiling, roads ready.
