New Construction · Chino Hills, CA, CA
Serenity Grove lives up to its name as an exclusive enclave of just 50 single-family homes, tucked into Chino Hills' desirable Carbon Canyon neighborhood. Trumark Homes designed these as substantial residences, setting them apart from the denser, more uniform new builds you often see elsewhere in the Inland Empire. The architecture leans into a sophisticated, modern California aesthetic, with thoughtful details rather than just volume, creating a more curated feel from the moment you approach.
These aren't entry-level homes; the square footage starts at 3,503 and climbs to an expansive 4,154 square feet. All plans feature at least 4.5 baths and offer flexible bedroom counts, with options for a ground-floor bedroom and additional adaptable spaces. This allows for various configurations, whether you need a multi-gen living suites, dedicated office, a gym, or simply more living area. Prices reflect this scale, starting from $1,799,990 for Plan 3, up to $1,928,254 for Plan 1.
Let's talk numbers. The Mello-Roos here is practically nonexistent at just $40 annually. That's a huge win, especially when you compare it to the $3,000-$5,000 you're routinely seeing in newer communities across Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, or even parts of Eastvale. The flip side is the HOA, which is a hefty $655 per month. For a community of only 50 homes, that’s a substantial fee, likely covering private street maintenance, common area landscaping, and any entry features. You're paying for exclusivity and meticulous upkeep rather than resort-style amenities. The overall tax rate is a standard 1.1%.
I help identify and negotiate for the best available builder credits—such as closing cost assistance or design center upgrades—and price reductions that are not advertised to the public.
The onsite sales agent represents the developer's interests, not yours. I serve as your independent advocate, reviewing contracts and construction milestones to ensure your interests are protected throughout the build.
The builder pays a professional referral fee directly from their community marketing budget. This allows you to have expert representation when buying your new home at no cost to you.
Instead of visiting dozens of sales centers, one call gives you an unfiltered look at the top Southern California new home communities that actually fit your specific budget, location, and lifestyle.
