Liv-a-bil-i-ty. It means many things: It’s when your brand-new home fits like a comfortable old shoe. It’s when your house is more than just an assortment of rooms, and your community is more than just an assortment of houses. It’s the kind of home your kids can’t wait to come home to. Right now, Shea Homes is showcasing all of the definitions of livability at three popular Orange County communities: Glenwood and Vantis in Aliso Viejo and Tapestry in La Habra.
“When your new home feels easy and comfortable before you’ve even moved in, that’s what we call livability,” stated Janet Benavidez, vice president of sales and marketing for Shea Homes Southern California. “It’s a feeling you get from Shea Homes – a sense that your house is ideally suited to its setting, the surrounding community and your family’s lifestyle. And while tastes evolve and technologies improve, Shea livability is a quality that never goes out of style.”
All of the elements that contribute to Shea livability are detailed on the new sheahomes.com, which offers a host of cool new features:
A simplified home search tool with large maps and various filters to make your search easier, including an interactive map and a simple price search feature.
The ability to “drop in” your own furniture to Shea’s fresh and exciting floor plans with the Shea SpaceBuilder.
A new homebuyer’s guide to answer questions about buying and financing your home and the ability to determine if it makes more sense for you to rent or own.
Interactive pictures that make Shea’s homes and neighborhoods truly come to life.
