D.R. HORTON’S MASTERPLANNED SKYBORNE COMMUNITY

 OFFERS “DREAM LOCATION” IN WEST DESERT HOT SPRINGS

 West Desert Hot Springs, California—For homebuyers at D.R. Horton’s masterplanned community of Skyborne, the advantages of an outstanding location in West Desert Hot Springs will be endless. Panoramic views, mild weather, freeway-close access to work and play, and that’s only the beginning.

            “Many who have already visited Skyborne tell us that it truly offers a dream location,” noted Ken Kellermann, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for D.R. Horton’s Orange County/Inland Empire Division. “In fact, Skyborne will indeed present one of the finest settings in the entire Coachella Valley, not to mention one of the region’s best new-home values. Prospective homebuyers who visit www.liveskyborne.com and register for important updates will learn even more about this remarkable community as we prepare to celebrate its grand opening this spring.”

            The benefits of Skyborne’s outstanding location in West Desert Hot Springs begin with its elevated location above the valley floor between Joshua Tree National Park and Palm Springs, which affords 180-degree views and milder temperatures than many surrounding locations. A cold water aquifer provides delicious, award-winning drinking water that is considered by many to be the “jewel of the desert,” and its hot mineral water

aquifer offers soothing “miracle waters” that rejuvenate guests at more than 40 spa resorts in the area.

            Unlike other desert resort communities, West Desert Hot Springs is only a short drive from Inland Empire employment centers, outlet shopping in Cabazon and Indian gaming resorts.

            Residents will also appreciate a location close to mountain and desert recreational destinations, the Palm Springs International Airport, and shopping and restaurants in Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage and Palm Desert.

            An address behind the entry gates of Skyborne is complemented further by an abundance of private recreational amenities. Skyborne is the first masterplanned community in the Coachella Valley that offers residents most everything onsite, including an elegant 12,000-square-foot clubhouse that is planned to present two swimming pools and three spas, a water splash area with wading pool for kids, tennis courts, an outdoor fireplace, two barbecue areas and much more. Community parks and 17 miles of pedestrian-friendly trails will also be featured, and proposed public facilities include a brand-new school and park.

            Private recreation will also be featured in each of Skyborne’s six residential villages, which will offer a grand total of nearly 36 floorplans. This broad selection of new-home designs will meet the needs of a variety of homebuyers, including young singles, couples and families dreaming of purchasing their first home, growing families that desire a larger residence, and active adults seeking a brand-new home for carefree living.

            When Skyborne debuts, it will offer the Village of Hopewell and the Village of Aurora. Ranging in size from approximately 1,452 to 2,647 square feet, the Village of Hopewell’s comfortably proportioned one- and two-story floorplans will host ample room to enjoy day-to-day living and special occasions with friends and family. The open and airy designs will feature expansive great rooms, gourmet kitchens, two bedrooms plus study to six bedrooms plus study, two to three bathrooms, and attached two- or three-car garages. Depending upon the floorplan, homeowners will enjoy cozy studies, bonus rooms, versatile lofts, and additional bedrooms. Prices begin in the low $300,000’s.

            Priced from the low $300,000’s, The Village of Aurora will boast a trio of single-story homes measuring approximately 1,411 to 2,005 square feet and featuring ample style inside and out. Depending upon the floorplan, buyers will enjoy a courtyard, detached casita, covered patio, great room with fireplace, kitchen with island and nook, two to three bedrooms, up to three bathrooms, and an attached two-bay garage. Versatile room options include a casita, studies, offices, lofts and double master suites (per plan).

            Along with Skyborne, The Orange County/Inland Empire Division of D.R. Horton has neighborhoods selling in the cities of Indio, Hemet, Moreno Valley, San Jacinto, Adelanto and Victorville.           

           30 years ago, Donald R. Horton had a Vision of livable and affordable new homes built with unmatched efficiencies and uncompromising quality. Of family traditions passed on to new generations. Of a business that would grow by making customers’ dreams come true.

            That philosophy of creating value every step of the way was the Company’s signature focus when Horton unveiled his first neighborhood in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area nearly three decades ago. As the Company grew from a local homebuilder to a regional homebuilder, to ultimately the largest homebuilder in the United States, that philosophy has never wavered.

            Today, D.R. Horton continues to demonstrate its leadership in residential development through design innovation, superior craftsmanship, and its responsiveness to the needs of its customers.

            That simple vision that began nearly 30 years ago represents years of value and security when you choose America’s Builder to make your dreams come true.For additional information regarding Skyborne, visit the community’s website at www.liveskyborne.com or
