"There has been such tremendous anticipation regarding The Branches new neighborhood that buyer momentum continues to grow as the model opening gets closer. New homes in Irvine in this prestigious community have not been introduced for more than a decade, and we expect The Branches to experience an overwhelming response when guests tour the stunning models for the first time," said Lesley Pennington, Vice President of Sales for William Lyon Homes. "This upcoming event will afford visitors a personal introduction to The Branches' three single-family designs and the perfect opportunity to discover its architectural beauty and smart planning, so they can decide which floorplan best fits their individual needs and goals. We encourage buyers who have been watching the progression of this Woodbridge neighborhood to stay tuned and know their wait is almost over and the best is yet to come."

The Branches will present a limited opportunity of just 48 beautiful, single-family residences. Two-story floorplans will range from approximately 2,209 to 2,542 square feet, with three to five bedrooms, 2.5 to three baths and two-car garages; exteriors will showcase Early Californian and Traditional architectural themes. The neighborhood will be surrounded by meandering streets and nestled in a tranquil corner of North Lake adjacent to the newly improved Fallbrook Park; a single entrance will greet homeowners. Prices are anticipated to start from the $900,000s.

Homeowners at The Branches will enjoy a fantastic array of established recreational amenities that include beach clubs, lagoons, tennis courts, parks and miles of trails. Neighborhood schools within the acclaimed Irvine Unified School District are also within walking distance, a convenience and privilege for the neighborhood's young students. A premium location near business, shopping, dining and entertainment destinations, as well as John Wayne Airport will offer an important benefit for buyers with busy lifestyles.

The coveted Irvine setting of The Branches will reinforce to future buyers the exceptional lifestyle they will experience as residents here -- the city of Irvine was ranked sixth by CNN Money as one of America's best small cities, with 44 miles of bike trails, 20,000 acres of parks and preserves, and a beach 10 miles away. CNN Money noted in a recent article that "Thanks to smart planning, this big city can feel surprisingly small. The 40-year-old community is divided into 40 'villages,' and a minimum of five acres of park space is added for every 1,000 newcomers."
