Five new communities and 16 new model homes will be unveiled across San Diego next month, as Shea Homes celebrates grand opening events from Chula Vista to Mission Valley to Escondido.

“Our upcoming openings offer a full range, from attached homes from the high $300,000s to spacious country homes in a more rural setting,” said Vanessa Linn, vice president of sales and marketing at Shea Homes San Diego

Currently pre-selling with two Quick Move-In homes available, Lucent II is comprised of several five-story buildings with interior elevator access and an enclosed two-garage on street level.
