City Walk at Vantis in Aliso Viejo Gets Down to Business with Live/Work Homes
09/15/08
ALISO VIEJO, CA – Shea Homes' City Walk at Vantis in Aliso Viejo is getting down to business with unique live/work residences that are designed for small business that want to save money while they make money. When business owners live directly upstairs from their office or retail space, they'll save hundreds of dollars a year on commuting costs alone. And their storefront sign will draw new customers and boost their bottom line.
“The whole concept of City Walk at Vantis is to make it possible to do business more efficiently and comfortably,” explained Heather Stevenson, vice president of sales and marketing for Shea Homes Southern California. “When you live where you work and work where you live in a location that combines the energy of city life with the relaxed, carefree pace of suburban living, it adds up to a business opportunity and a lifestyle opportunity that can't be beat.”
When morning rush hour is in full swing, and the freeways are jammed with traffic, City Walk residents can just walk downstairs from their spacious living area to their ground floor office or business space. And when it’s time for a break or a lunch meeting, they can still leave their cars in the garage and walk to the wide array of shops, restaurants and entertainment attractions at the Aliso Viejo Town Center or visit the The Club at Vantis for a workout, a swim, a game or a meeting in the business center.
City Walk’s live/work residences are generously proportioned from approximately 1,851 to 2,635 square feet. Open floor plan designs easily accommodate the lifestyles of today's busy professionals with two to three bedrooms, up to two and one-half bathrooms, versatile living areas and direct-access two-car garages. Prices begin in the low $600,000s.
Also at Vantis, Shea Homes is presenting two stylish townhome collections, Latitudes North and Latitudes South.
Inspired by Boston’s Beacon Hill and San Francisco’s Pacific Heights, Latitudes North features chic three-level designs ranging from approximately 1,401 to 1,863 square feet, with two to three bedrooms and up to 2.5 bathrooms. Front patios or deck spaces extend living areas outdoors, and direct-access two-car garages provide added convenience.
Latitudes South presents courtyard designs that offer city light and ridgeline views in select locations. Two- to three-level floor plans range from approximately 1,188 to 1,627 square feet, including two to three bedrooms and up to 2.5 bathrooms, plus a direct-access two-car garage. Prices of both Latitudes collections start in the low $400,000s.
All three neighborhoods played a role in earning Vantis the Grand Award for ‘Master Planned Community of the Year’ at the 2007 Gold Nugget Competition. The community was also recently named the Grand Winner at the Builder’s Choice Awards.
The social and recreational hub of Vantis is The Club at Vantis, the perfect place to meet friends, swim laps, relax or throw a great party.

The tranquil ambiance of Vantis is heightened by lush gardens and walking paths that extend along the community’s perimeter and offer quiet places to escape.
