San Diego County’s First New Village
The new Lilac Hills Ranch is designed as the first carbon-neutral village in San Diego County and the first community to meet the county’s guidelines for New Villages, which is the highest standard a project can achieve under the County’s General Plan.
It will feature a town center with retail and restaurants that links homes to amenities within a 10-minute walk from each household. Our community also will include solar panels on every home, electric vehicle charging stations in every garage, reduced water use, bike sharing, car sharing, private on-demand transit, vanpool service, bike lanes, and more than 200 acres of parks and open space – more than twice the size of the San Diego Zoo.
A sustainable green community centered around a walkable mixed-use Village, the new Lilac Hills Ranch will set a new standard for development and placemaking.
