Family life is thriving at Satake Estates
Residents at Satake Estates just held their first annual Summer Block Party to celebrate the creation of their fabulous new neighborhood. This was a great opportunity for the current residents to meet each other and also the many future homeowners who are anxiously awaiting the completion of their new homes. (more…)

Facebook is a source of many, many things. And, it is the source of finding things!
A few discoveries on Facebook recently:
A friend of mine posted a photo of her new home. She purchased a home through the resale market. She posted a few before and after photos of her home as they painted it. One of her friends posted back asking if her home was at a certain address. My friend responded back that it was – low and behold they discovered that she had purchased her friend’s childhood home. Talk about finding something out on Facebook!
We’re planning my grandmother’s 90th birthday and being that all of the grandkids are on Facebook, we took to Facebook to plan her birthday present. We used the inbox feature to keep it a bit private, but within days, we had it all figured out. Oh, and grandma is on Facebook too!
And, that’s not all that can be found on Facebook. Have you checked SummerHill out on Facebook lately? Check out some of the great responses from our homeowners and fans to find out just what is important to them!

Just ask the residents at SummerHill’s latest sustainable living community – Satake Estates in Mountain View. Each home at the environmentally friendly Satake Estates showcases a beautiful Rain Garden in the front yard. This is just one of the many features used to achieve the Build it Green’s GreenPoint Rating System.

We’ve sold out of another community – Rosewood in Fremont.
The sales in the past few months were record breaking with new homeowners looking to get in before the opportunity passed. We sold the final Gables home last month.
Our Satake Estates community is also selling out quickly with the final few homes available now.

We celebrated our Redwood Gate park opening with a homeowner “Meet and Greet” party and it was a HUGE success.
We were thrilled at the turnout – over 50 people in attendance. Wow what a great party!
Homeowners that recently closed escrow plus homeowners excitedly waiting to move into their new homes joined in the fun.
The party started at 1pm – and… (more…)

Tomorrow we’re hosting a broker event at our Merimont community in San Bruno. We wanted to share some tasty treats with our broker partners. It would be easy to pick up pastries at Starbucks, where we will be getting the coffee, but that just didn’t seem as fun as supporting the local bakery. I hopped on Yelp and discovered Pastisserie Ganache in San Bruno.

Oh, the beauty and promise of Spring. There is of course a price to pay for the beauty and promise of Spring. Household maintenance and cleaning that is. After all, who wants to look through your kitchen window to enjoy the crocus and tulips in bloom only to see dirt, grime and bug carcass laden glass? (more…)

I don’t know about you all, but I feel like this year is just going so fast! Can you believe the first day of Spring is tomorrow?!? Weren’t we just recovering from baking cookies at Christmas, paying Valentines Day bills, starting a new school semester and eating corned beef (oh wait- we were just eating corned beef! Corned beef sandwich leftovers are the best!)
Well, as the season would have it, we are springing into action at Redwood Gate and Satake this week with brand new releases of homes.
