Woodbridge Pacific Group's Nova development in Palm Desert introduces flexible home designs with ADU options, catering to a wide range of homebuyers at competitive prices. The community's strategic location and amenities enhance its appeal in the California desert market.

Woodbridge Pacific Group (WPG) is making waves in the Palm Desert real estate market with its Nova development at University Park, offering homebuyers a combination of high-end features and adaptable living spaces at attainable prices. Starting in the high $600,000s, Nova homes range from 2,328 to 2,751 square feet, featuring 4 to 5 bedrooms and 3.5 to 4.5 bathrooms, along with a 2-car garage.
The introduction of Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) layouts marks a significant evolution in Nova's design offerings. These self-contained units provide additional living space with separate entries, catering to multi-generational families, long-term guests, or as potential rental income sources. This flexibility is attracting a diverse array of buyers, from empty nesters to first-time homeowners and seniors looking for versatile living arrangements.
Todd Cunningham, WPG President, emphasized the strategic importance of these new designs, stating, "Our ADU shoppers and buyers are looking for design that answers lifestyle questions now, and over time." This forward-thinking approach not only addresses current housing needs but also anticipates future market demands, potentially increasing property resale values.
Nova's architectural design focuses on indoor/outdoor connectivity, a crucial feature for desert living. The homes boast great room layouts, through-plan views, and private side courts. High-end finishes include sleek kitchens ideal for entertaining and luxurious primary suites with spa baths and walk-in wardrobes.
The development's location within University Park adds to its appeal. Situated near the 10 Freeway, Nova offers easy access to key destinations such as the Eisenhower Medical Center, quality schools within the Desert Sands Unified School District and Palm Springs Unified, and popular retail and dining options. The nearby El Paseo Shopping District and the new Acrisure Arena provide additional entertainment and lifestyle amenities.
Residents of Nova also benefit from The Grove, University Park's amenity center, which features pools, fitness facilities, and various recreational spaces. This community-centric approach enhances the overall living experience and fosters a sense of neighborhood connection.
WPG is sweetening the deal for potential buyers with financing opportunities through their preferred lender, US Bank. Jeff Weirsma, the designated expert, is available to assist buyers with navigating the purchase process, including exploring reduced interest rates and special incentives.
The timing of Nova's offerings is particularly noteworthy in the current real estate climate. Cunningham notes, "Now is a very favorable time to buy, while the supply of new homes can match demand, and while we can provide generous incentives on selected homes and interest rate buy-downs for qualified buyers." This approach aims to make homeownership more accessible in a market that has seen significant price increases in recent years.
The introduction of Nova at University Park represents a strategic move by Woodbridge Pacific Group to address the evolving needs of homebuyers in the California desert region. By offering a mix of high-quality construction, flexible living spaces, and competitive pricing, Nova is positioned to attract a wide range of buyers and potentially influence future development trends in the area. As the housing market continues to face challenges of affordability and changing demographic needs, developments like Nova showcase how innovative design and thoughtful community planning can create attractive options for diverse homebuyers.
