The newest on-hold development is Claridad, the townhome development adjacent to Rio Norte Junior High. These are the low-end homes for that area, but still have some nice features and floorplans.

People who signed up for pre-sales on these homes are now being offered the option to purchase in the Esperto development instead, one of the few of Lennar’s developments that is actually moving forward. Those who opt to transfer over to the Esperto homes will be looking at a September, 2008 move-in date instead of the April, 2008 date that they were originally promised. Buyers will apparently be able to keep all incentives that were offered to them in their initial negotiations for the Claridad homes.

Sales will also continue for the Artenati townhomes at West Creek Valencia. The Artenati homes feature up to four bedrooms, small back yards, and some have views overlooking the Santa Clara River. The Artenati townhomes are adjacent to the Albertson’s shopping center on Copperhill.
