Donald and Jessica Durant wanted a new home, a home in a gated setting and with plenty of space and style. They also sought a pool-sized lot and location that would put Donald closer to his business in the City of Industry. They found it all with Residence 5 at Hillcrest in Chino Hills, by Builder Woodbridge Pacific Group (WPG).

The Durants had previously made their home in Pomona for more than 18 years. I moved a lot as a kid, so staying put for our two sons was important to me, and to Jessica, who was with the same friends and classmates from kindergarten through high school, said Donald. Pomona was the place for us through our sons growing up years.

With their sons out of high school, Donald and Jessica launched their new life stage by searching for the home of their dreams. Attracted by the Chino Hills community, they discovered Hillcrest.

Priced from the low $1 millions, Hillcrest is a limited edition neighborhood of large, estate style homes. Its gated setting features panoramic views of mountains and canyons, and homesites are approximately 8,000 to 29,000 square feet. They are part of a unique 140-acre setting with preserved open space, mature trees and native vegetation.

Hillcrests five two-story designs provide 3,452 to 5,342 square feet of living space, with 5 to 6 bedrooms, 5.5. to 6.5 baths and 3- to 5-car garages. WPGs price-included Canyon Hills Room provides expansive, sheltered, indoor/outdoor entertainment space, and features sliding doors and a gas-burning fireplace with screen, gas logs and remote controller.

We came to Hillcrest when the model homes were brand new and ground had just broken on the first phase of homes, said Donald. The gated neighborhood satisfied a top priority, the large lots were very inviting, and the home itself fills the bill for us and our boys, who attend Chafee College and Cal State Fullertonone son turns left from Hillcrest every day on his way to classes, and the other turns right!

Donald noted Resident Fives super family room, formal dining room, media room, en suite design for all 5 bedrooms and the 4-car garage. All this plus the big homesite we had always wanted, he said. We put in a pool immediately!

This is the first new home we have ever bought, and we have been very pleased with WPGs service through the sale and move-in stages, added Donald. Now our sons ask us what took us so long!
