Deerlake Ranch Looks Upscale in Chatsworth

Landsea Homes’ newest community, Crestley at Deerlake Ranch in Chatsworth, officially opened to the public Dec. 21 with the rollout of three single-family homes — each representing one of the three floorplan models available for purchase as well as the three architectural styles offered: Spanish, Farmhouse and Arts & Crafts. Crestley, a collection that will total 50 smart residences ranging 3,000 to 3,900 square feet each, is another component of Deerlake Ranch, a master plan with a family-friendly lifestyle and luxury amenities located just north of the 118 freeway. The extended community will include a resort-style clubhouse, outdoor gathering spaces, dog park and nearly 4.5 miles of private trails.  Kaylee Smith, vice president of sales and marketing at Landsea, said the homes will range in price from roughly $1.1 million to $1.3 million with differences dictated by the floorplan, not the style. The master-planned community comes on the heels of the Westerly community of 211 townhomes in Simi Valley which opened in the summer of 2018. Landsea said the company is still selling those homes, which feature six stylish floorplans; range from about 1,400 square feet to just over 2,200 square feet; and cost from $497,628 to $612,129. Landsea Homes, the U.S. subsidiary of Nanjing-based Landsea Group, builds roughly 12,000 houses annually in mainland China, Hong Kong and Germany. In 2014, Los Angeles Times reported that Landsea kicked off its U.S. endeavors with a $1 billion investment in the New York and California housing markets. Construction on the project launched five months ago. The first move-ins – into six completed homes — will unfurl in the spring. The recreation center and swimming pool will be ready by late 2020.
