Marbella
Ryland and CalAtlantic homes with a warmer material palette — mediterranean-influenced homesites within The Palisades, characterized by stucco and tile-influenced elevations with arched entries.
The character of Marbella
Marbella was delivered by Ryland — later merged with Standard Pacific to form CalAtlantic Homes — and its elevations carry a warmer, more Mediterranean-influenced palette than the brick-dominant neighborhoods elsewhere in the community.
The result is a streetscape that stands apart visually inside The Palisades: arched openings, stucco fields, and softer roof colors instead of the four-sided brick that defines Bear Creek, Eagles Landing, and Crosshaven.
Plans range from about 2,600 to 4,300 square feet across two and two-and-a-half story configurations, with pricing that generally lands between $575,000 and $825,000.
Architecture
Stucco and tile-influenced elevations with arched entries. Exterior materials, massing, and site work in this enclave are subject to the community’s architectural review process, which is why the streetscape reads as a coherent whole rather than a collection of unrelated houses.
