About Manzanita Trail in Pacific Highlands Ranch

Manzanita Trail is a Pardee Homes neighborhood within Pacific Highlands Ranch, built between 2010 and 2012. What sets the community apart is its architectural variety: three two-story floor plans (2,357 to 2,789 square feet) wrapped in three distinct exterior styles — California Craftsman, Napa Valley, and Coastal Cottage. The streetscape reflects three of Southern California's most enduring residential traditions side by side, giving Manzanita Trail real visual character rather than the uniform tract-home look found in many newer phases.

Beyond the exterior styling, the neighborhood is defined by a courtyard-oriented layout. Standard homes feature front-porch entries, side courtyards, rear-entry garages, and dedicated workshop space — a flexible bonus area for hobbies, projects, or work-from-home use. Combined with Pardee's signature LivingSmart® eco-friendly program (energy efficiency, water conservation, healthy indoor air, sustainable materials), Manzanita Trail offers thoughtful, mid-size family living at a more accessible price tier than Pardee's larger PHR neighborhoods like Casavia.
