"Solamar represents a unique opportunity for families to 'live large' at an attractive price in a LivingSmart, Pardee-planned community," said Rob Tuvell, regional sales director for Pardee Homes. "And, the floor plans accommodate a wide range of attractive options including a home theater, playroom, billiards room, library, hobby room and more."

All of Pardee's newly designed homes are part of the builder's LivingSmart brand, a program with standard and optional measures that boost energy efficiency, save water, improve indoor air quality and encourage material conservation and the use of recycled or sustainable resources in new homes, according to Tuvell.

LivingSmart provides standard materials, systems and features with EnergySmart, EarthSmart, WaterSmart and HealthSmart advantages. Buyers can add other features such as whole-house water conditioning, tankless water heaters and central vacuum systems. Optional features vary by home and neighborhood.
