Community Facilities Districts (CFDs), commonly known as Mello-Roos, are a form of financing that can be used by cities, counties, and special districts. CFDs are formed to finance major improvements and services by raising money through special taxes within the district.

In almost all cases, CFD taxes are levied as part of an owner's annual property tax.

Yes. A “Notice of a Special Tax” is provided to residents annually that includes the current year’s maximum tax for the parcel, the rate at which that maximum tax may increase per year, and the final date in which special taxes may be collected for bonded indebtedness.

4. New Appliances Included & Installed: CalWest homes come standard with a stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and more.

A turn-key residence is ready for move-in from the moment you purchase and are ideal for those who want a quick and low maintenance home. You can conveniently move into a new home featuring designer-selected finishes, furnishings, and amenities. CalWest model homes are the epitome of turn-key living with full landscaping, upgraded countertops and lighting, and professionally selected furniture, accessories, art, and interior plants.

A pre-sale home is sold as construction is in progress, which affords buyers to make customizations and have more control over their final residence while watching the process until the end. Pre-sale residences allow additional time to put away money for the home and are great for contingent buyers who need to sell their home prior to purchase.

Our base price includes essential features like stainless steel appliances (stove, oven, microwave, and dishwasher) and high-efficiency heating and air conditioning. A detailed list of inclusions is available on the kitchen island of any model home.

Yes. Every home includes our VIVID Home Tech & Wellness package. This program sets a high standard for energy efficiency and healthy living by including:

Solar Power: Rooftop solar panels are included to help reduce your monthly electricity bills.

Depending on the construction stage, yes. Our Design Studio helps you select finishes and upgrades that reflect your personal vision. We offer a curated selection of materials so your home feels unique to you.

We schedule specific walkthroughs at key milestones, such as a "dusty shoe tour". Your sales associate will coordinate these visits so you can safely see the progress of your home.

No. You can work directly with our on-site team. If you choose to work with a broker, they must accompany you on your first visit to the community to be eligible for our referral program. Visit our Broker Policy page to confirm neighborhood participation.

We offer special incentives, and the offers vary by community and season. We recommend checking the specific neighborhood page or speaking with a sales associate for current incentives.

Our pricing reflects our focus on better craftsmanship and lower-density neighborhoods. We build homes with design-forward floorplans that prioritize natural light and indoor-outdoor living. Our dedicated sales teams provide all pricing and included features upfront so you can accurately compare the total value and quality of our construction.

As a local, family-owned company with 30+ years of experience in San Diego County, we focus on fewer neighborhoods at a time so we can give more attention to construction details and your overall experience.

Walkability depends on the neighborhood. Some are near shops and transit, while others are closer to nature trails. We put specific maps on every community page so you can see exactly what is nearby before you visit.

We choose locations in Southern California that align with an active, outdoor lifestyle. Our communities are designed, often featuring parks, walking trails, and social spaces that help neighbors easily connect.
