ROSEVILLE, Calif. — Once finished, a new community in West Roseville will include more than 2,000 new homes and apartments.
Located near the major cross streets of Blue Oaks Boulevard and Westbrook Boulevard, the 500-acre Winding Creek community will also include an elementary school, four parks, and a retail center among other trails and protected land.
Karron Vasquez, the senior marketing manager for Anthem Properties, said the community is made up of five neighborhoods, one of which has already sold out.
Vasquez said about 275 people are already living in homes across the five neighborhoods.
The plan is divided into five phases, two of which are already underway on the south side of the creek. The first two phases include single-family homes. Vasquez said phase three, which would be constructed north of the creek, is scheduled to start in 2023.
There will also be affordable apartments with about 200 units in the community. Another 216 units will be more luxury-style apartments, Vasquez said.
"One of the things that I think personally is most unique about this neighborhood that no other master plan in Roseville has is that we have a protected area that's a part of the master plan that's 140 acres of forever protected land," Vasquez said.
Vasquez said when the project opened around a year and a half ago, they were seeing a lot of influx in people from the Bay Area moving into the neighborhoods.
"I think it has slowed down a bit — at one point we were really seeing probably slightly less than half of the homeowners and the traffic, in general, coming into the community was Bay Area," Vasquez said. "But I have also come to learn that people that live in Roseville, love Roseville and will a lot of times move into the next, newest place."
The Winding Creek master plan is set to be complete in about eight years, according to Vasquez. Here's a map of the plans for the community.
