Like many things in 2020, the California real estate market has been unpredictable. With the changing environment also comes an opportunity for many people to own their first home, trade up, or even trade out to a location that is more suited to their new-found lifestyle.

This is where Blue Mountain Communities is paving the way for new home construction throughout Northern California. Speaking with their sales director and marketing director brought to light a whole new way of finding real value in undiscovered locations with variety in conveniences, recreation, and commutability.

Blue Mountain Communities has been known for building several popular neighborhoods throughout the region. Currently, available homes are offered at Village Station in Santa Rosa, Provence in Natomas, and Carnelian in Granite Bay.

Each community’s location offers unique benefits. The Santa Rosa community is a five-minute walk from Historic Railroad Square and downtown. In Natomas, the community is a short drive between downtown Sacramento and the airport. In Granite Bay, residents will live just down the street from Folsom Lake with hiking, biking, and walking trails, and only a few miles from the Westfield Galleria shopping center.

“One of the most interesting elements of these communities, besides being beautiful places to live, is that they represent a unique approach to building in their individual areas,” stated Joe Klusnick, Marketing Director for Blue Mountain. “We have pioneered row homes and luxury duets in Santa Rosa and Granite Bay, respectively.”

With the right location selected, Blue Mountain Communities creates a neighborhood plan for an environment where people can live and thrive.

“A lot of our communities include designated, shared areas. Whether it be community gardens, pools, barbecue areas, tot lots, bocce courts, or dog parks, our vision is to create livable spaces and enjoyment right outside your door,” said Will Scott, Sales Director for Blue Mountain Communities.

Blue Mountain Communities is committed to homes designed for today’s lifestyles. Many homes offer home offices, extra storage spaces, multi-generational options, and lofts or bonus rooms that can be converted into home theaters, playrooms, or at-home classrooms.

“Our floorplans are not pulled off ‘the shelf.’ A team of expert architects, engineers, and designers collaborate to identify the best configurations to create a comfortable, flexible living environment specific to each community,” continued Scott.

As part of the parent company, Blue Mountain Enterprises, LLC, they are able to internally source and install plumbing and HVAC systems for every home.

“This gives us more quality control and our homebuyers more peace-of-mind,” commented Scott.

Another distinctive company attribute is Blue Mountain’s included features. Every home is aesthetically appointed with granite countertops, tile or LVP flooring, contemporary styled fixtures, and stainless steel appliances.
