Buying a new home is a significant decision, and for many shoppers, the journey from consideration to purchase hinges on factors that go beyond square footage and price. Woodbridge Pacific Group (WPG) President Todd Cunningham emphasizes that peace of mind is as important as top value. WPG cultivates this for buyers by building high-quality homes in high-quality neighborhoods and keeping the process smooth, paying attention to variables buyers need to address before making the investment.
For one Bakersfield family, the need for more space as their children grew prompted them to stop talking about a new home and start looking within their price range. They found that everything they wanted in a home, neighborhood, and community was present in a WPG community. Their research showed a quality company with a solid reputation, and touring model homes confirmed the quality extras throughout.
Empty nesters relocating from Rancho Santa Fe to La Quinta sought less traffic, less density, and more sun. After researching active adult communities in Southern California, they discovered WPG's Monterra and found spaces for everyday living, entertaining, and visitors. The wife noted, "It's the house people like us are looking for today—a generous but manageable size, a fresh, clean-lined look, and really great guest spaces." Her husband added, "We have lived in Connecticut, Miami, Boston, Texas, Colorado, and more, and this is the best move we've made."
Having built four custom homes, a Monterra couple were knowledgeable about designs and finishes. They found the architectural detail at Monterra surpassed their custom homes in thoughtfulness and quality. In Idaho, a couple who bought a new WPG home appreciated the clean build site and the company's communication. Their new home was ready on the promised date, and the walkthrough was meaningful, with everything explained thoroughly.
Another Idaho couple at Bald Eagle Point sought a single-story home convenient to Eagle for family visits. After seeing the property on a website, they made a leap of faith and bought their favorite plan. Their agent researched WPG, and the couple saw framed and nearly completed homes that looked good. Now settled, the wife appreciates the extra bedroom for a sewing room.
A single professional purchasing at Nova in Palm Desert wanted a home he could love. He found the layout and yard size ideal, and he enjoys the walkable neighborhood with amenities like hiking trails and Joshua Tree. Another couple who moved from the Bay Area praised the walkable environment, which will improve as the area matures. With family nearby, they expect to make full use of guest spaces and their backyard pool.
Buyers also value the cost savings of a new home, as everything is new and requires no immediate fixes. Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and casitas offer flexibility for rentals or aging parents. One couple made their first visit before model homes were built, studying floor plans and neighborhoods, and WPG's reputation kept University Park in first place.
Personalization options allow buyers to choose from layout variations and finishes through WPG's Design Center. Nearby parks, amenity centers, and access to business and medical centers enhance the appeal. At Bald Eagle Point, The Perch offers a pool, pickleball court, and fire pits. In Bakersfield's Belcourt, the Belcourt Center Club features a resort-style pool and fitness center. University Park residents enjoy The Grove, with pools, gathering rooms, and sports facilities.
WPG assists with financing through its preferred lender, U.S. Bank. Jeff Weirsma and his team help buyers see whether a new home purchase will work for them. Buyers praise the smooth process and customer service, with one noting, "Our sales representative went the extra mile and contributed to the best buying experience I have ever had."
WPG is a privately held developer/homebuilder with an excellent track record, earning numerous honors for design and planning excellence. For more information, visit www.woodbridgepacific.com.
