Shea opens new model homes on Jan. 20 in Chula Vista

On Saturday, January 20, Shea Homes will unveil three new model homes at Strata at The Village of Escaya, located at the east end of Main Street in Chula Vista. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Shea will offer home tours plus a coffee truck, crepes cooked on site, live music and activities for children.

A total of 72 triplex condominium homes range from 1,407 to 1,736 square feet and offer three to four bedrooms and two to three baths. Prices at Strata now range from $379,000 to $441,000. For more information, call 619-814-1729.

Strata’s street scene features a mix of three distinctive architectural styles including Spanish, Farmhouse and Ranch. Two-story plans include a two-car garage, kitchen with breakfast bar island, and decks or covered patios. Two plans feature an optional loft or den.

VA financing is now available at Strata, as well as Shea’s other two new home neighborhoods in The Village of Escaya – Seville and Sierra.

“We are pleased to be working with a number of military families who can take advantage of zero-down-payment VA financing,” said Vanessa Linn, vice president of sales and marketing for Shea Homes, who noted that VA loans are guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

“VA financing presents a tremendous opportunity for entry-level or first time move-up buyers trying to break in to the San Diego housing market,” added Linn. “Our Shea representatives are well versed in the intricacies of these loans and can help home shoppers understand their options.”

Sierra at The Village of Escaya will present three to five bedrooms and two to three baths, ranging from 1,833 to 2,179 square feet. Pricing at Sierra starts in the low $500,000s.

With four to five bedrooms and three baths, ranging up to 2,949 square feet, Seville at The Village of Escaya is priced from the low $600,000s.

The recently opened Village of Escaya will ultimately include a neighborhood park, which will feature a kids’ jungle gym, barbecue, amphitheater, soccer practice fields, walking paths and an on-leash dog park.

All three Shea neighborhoods at The Village of Escaya lie within the Chula Vista Elementary School District for grades K-6, and Sweetwater Union High School District for grades 7-12. These districts advise the schools initially available to the community: Wolf Canyon Elementary School, Rancho Del Rey Middle School, and Otay Ranch High School.

To reach The Village of Escaya from I-805, take the Main Street exit and drive east; watch for a new extension of Heritage Road and follow the signs.
