Montevera is another new, master‐planned community located in the City of Palm Desert, California. The project site, formerly the location of the Santa Rosa Golf Club, has been completely reimagined and redesigned to
incorporate the latest, most innovative, community design standards, and relies heavily on sustainable design techniques that will provide significant reductions in water and energy usage, while simultaneously affording the
residents of the community a wide variety of options for creating an active, healthy lifestyle. Additionally, Montevera is only minutes away from world‐class shopping and dining on El Paseo, the award‐winning McCallum
Theatre, and the Palm Desert campuses of College of the Desert, California State University San Bernardino, University of California at Riverside, and the University of Phoenix. With a total planning area of nearly 80 acres, Montevera is designed to integrate seamlessly into the natural desert
environment, while preserving the qualities that define the neighborhood character of the surrounding communities, and promote the active, healthy, Palm Desert lifestyle. Over 20 acres of the project (more than 25%) is set aside for both passive and active recreational pursuits. Nearly two miles of walking trails connect all five of Montevera’s beautiful neighborhoods to community recreation areas that feature sparkling pools, outdoor pavilions, public and private BBQ areas, and comfortable outdoor seating with fire pits that can turn any evening into a romantic rendezvous. The recreation areas and pavilions will provide a place for the residents to gather and
will be a focal point for community events. The gardens and landscaping of Montevera will feature the bold colors and water efficiency that can be found among the palette of natural, desert plants, tress, and shrubs.
