Woodbridge Pacific Group Expands Housing Options with Innovative ADU Designs in Palm Desert

In response to evolving housing needs, Woodbridge Pacific Group (WPG) has launched Nova at University Park in Palm Desert, featuring homes with innovative casita and ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) designs that cater to diverse living arrangements and investment opportunities.

The development addresses critical housing market demands by offering flexible living spaces that can accommodate multi-generational families, provide rental income opportunities, or serve as winter homes. Nova homes, starting in the low $700,000s, range from 2,328 to 2,751 square feet with 4 to 5 bedrooms, featuring self-contained layouts with private entries that optimize their potential for various living arrangements.

The economic implications of these designs are significant, as noted by WPG President Todd Cunningham, who emphasizes their appeal to buyers seeking mortgage assistance through rental income and enhanced resale value. The development's location near Eisenhower Health center adds value for healthcare workers and residents seeking medical services accessibility.

Beyond Nova, the development includes two additional collections: Esprit, with homes priced from $848,190 to $1,155,000, and Verve, offering its final two model homes at $809,900. The master-planned community includes The Grove amenity center, featuring resort-style facilities that enhance property values and community appeal.

This development represents a strategic response to California's housing challenges by incorporating ADUs, which have become increasingly important in addressing housing shortages and affordability issues while providing flexible living solutions for changing demographic needs.
