It's a marshmallow world!

The SMC Seasonal Celebration was a great way to end the year on a high note at Cork & Craft in Rancho Bernardo. The SMC celebrated 2023 with members old and new, gave a huge Thank You to exiting SMC Chair Melissa Auten with Unscripted Interiors, and as always, there were games and prizes. The hit of the evening…the Marshmallow Stacking Game (who can stack the most marshmallows using chopsticks?). Big winner of the evening was Leif Tollefson of US Bank!

Shea Homes Closes Out Townsend at Mission Circle

Blending an urban setting with a small-town feel, Townsend by Shea Homes sold and closed out strictly via a Priority List.

Two Neighborhoods Sell Out at Citro in Fallbrook

Both Avo & Castello, featuring detached homes, are now sold out. Avo recently closed out all 57 residences, welcoming their happy homeowners to this award-winning community!
