With delicious scents of pumpkin, spice and everything nice dancing through the air, there’s no place like the kitchen for the holidays.
At Tracy Hills, state-of-the-art kitchens add a dash of magic to every dish with stunning features, premier appliances and enough room to give the kids a twirl once the cookies are in the oven. These culinary spaces are waiting to bring your favorite holiday recipes to life.
When you have a gourmet kitchen like the ones at Pearl by Lennar, you’ll always be looking forward to putting on your apron. The sleek stainless steel appliances, stunning quartz or granite countertops and more Everything’s Included® features call to your inner chef, while the large central island makes for the perfect place to do meal prep and set out appetizers. For variety, color and a little sweetness, put together a big fruit platter and recruit the kids to transform it into a fun, holiday-inspired shape—whether it be a turkey for Thanksgiving or a snowman for the winter season. And this caramel cream cheese spread is the best complement for dipping apples, pears and more!
When it comes to holiday feasts, mac and cheese should be the guest of honor at every table. May sound cheesy—but it’s true! So it’s time to break out your grandma’s rendition of this favorite comfort classic. Don’t have a recipe from generation’s past? There’s so much creamy goodness in this collection of mac and cheese recipes that you’ll have trouble choosing just one. Whipping up a newfound dish is easy in the culinary kitchens at Vente by Shea Homes. With the Amazon Echo Show as an included feature with SheaConnect™, you can search, follow along and even play your favorite cooking song with just the sound of your voice. Alexa, play “Making Pies”!
And now it’s time for the inevitable annual debate: apple or pumpkin? Pie is the go-to dessert for holiday feasts, but the flavor rarely gets a unanimous vote. What if we said you could have both and then some? Try out the all-in-one trend with this four-flavor sheet pan pie. When you’ve got a dessert that will please everyone’s taste buds, you might as well be serving up little slices of happiness. The premier ENERGY STAR® certified appliances in the gourmet kitchens at Vantage by Meritage Homes ensure that every special treat is baked to perfection. Plus, having a kitchen that seamlessly flows into the great room with an open-concept layout means the only thing between you and seconds is a craving.

This year’s new reality has changed many people’s perfect idea of home, which has a lot of San Francisco residents packing their bags and saying goodbye to the small spaces and cramped quarters.
Once big-city folk have tried Tracy Hills on for size, there’s no going back. It’s one of those suburban havens with the kind of extra room, amenities and outdoor spaces that families can’t get enough of. Sound too good to be true? Then take it from our homeowners. A recent article by San Jose Mercury News put one of our very own Tracy Hills families in the spotlight. Their recent move from San Francisco brought them more space, work-from-home ease and a realized lifelong dream of becoming homeowners. You can read their story here.

Fall is in the air, and naturally so is that need to add a seasonal touch to your surroundings. Whether it’s updating your décor for that fresh autumn feel or decorating your home with Halloween in mind, here are some tips and tricks that will have your space looking good and feeling festive.
Nothing says fall like comfortable accents in warming colors. Try adding some soft throw blankets and fuzzy pillows in neutral shades, such as muted orange, light browns and classic grays and whites. Finish it all off with natural textures and candles for a look that says sweater weather has arrived. Get more ideas.
When it comes to decorating, it’s not just what’s on the inside that counts. Transform the outside of your home with just a few simple touches, whether it’s adding a seasonal wreath and lanterns, putting some pumpkins on your front porch or introducing some rustic furniture, cornstalks or fall botanicals. See how you can think outside the home.
Everyone loves a good centerpiece, especially when it creates that autumn feeling. Round up some pumpkins and gourds for a harvest-forward theme at your dining table. Collect some leaves, pinecones and branches from outside and place them in a glass vase or bowl for a DIY feel. Or gather some yellow, orange and red flowers to place around the home in the perfect fall arrangements. Learn all about it.
Blankets and fallen leaves are great, but sometimes you need to embrace your inner Halloween enthusiast. For an irresistible eerie vibe, fake cobwebs, hand-crafted spiders, gravestones and hanging sheet ghosts are perfection. If you’re looking for a little more magic, a cauldron, candles, broomsticks and spell books come together for the ultimate witch’s lair. Or you can always add some classic skeletons, jack-o’-lanterns and tattered cheesecloth draperies and call it a day! Get more inspiration.
There’s nothing like dressing up your home for the season, especially when it’s brand new! Visit Tracy Hills today to see how you can own the perfect new home to decorate to your heart’s content this fall and all the seasons to come!
Bright futures are on the horizon! The future Corral Hollow Elementary School is on its way to Tracy Hills, and we can’t wait to see it open its doors and open young minds to a great education just steps from home.
The latest addition to the Jefferson School District, this new open-air campus is planned to take shape in the center of the community, near the Welcome Center and walking distance to each of the Tracy Hills neighborhoods. It will serve upwards of 900 K-8 students and even make room for potential daycare before and after school as well as preschool opportunities.
At its heart, the future school will embrace a technology-driven yet book-forward library, an upstairs learning hub that will facilitate growth and propel students to engage, explore, discover and stir their passions.
In addition, students will enjoy a range of opportunities both inside and outside of the classroom, from the Gifted and Talented Education program (GATE) to statewide academic and sports competitions and more.
To learn all about this exciting new development in our community, watch the video and see why the smart move is Tracy Hills.
Tracy Hills was recently featured in the San Francisco Business Times for its lure to Bay Area homebuyers, who are looking to trade urban living for the space and convenience found in a master-planned community.
Here, seven new home villages come with a variety of lot sizes, floor plans and flexibility. These single-family residences have between 1,700 and 4,100 square feet with outdoor space and attractive prices ranging from the $500,000s to the $700,000s. Median home prices in Tracy tend to be about $400,000 less than that of the Bay Area. It’s easy to find your home base when there’s so much to choose from.
With city dwellers craving room to grow and get moving, Tracy Hills’ walking, hiking and biking trails will be where they can roam. From planned retail spaces to schools and free Wi-Fi connectivity offered throughout the community, it’s a development that considers all aspects of living in a time when everything’s done at home. But when that daily commute starts up again, Tracy Hills is fully accessible to the hustle and bustle of the Bay Area, so commuters can conveniently jump on I-580 to get to work.

“We are thrilled to begin the construction of the new fire station at Tracy Hills that will provide emergency services to all of Tracy Hills along with south Tracy residents,” said John Stanek, principal of Integral Communities.
“We worked closely and collaboratively with RRM Design Group and a committee of firefighters to design a station that not only meets our strict design standards but also offers residents a station that features the most advanced life-saving and firefighting technology.”
The new station will be staffed and operated by the South County Fire Authority (SCFA), which operates under a joint powers agreement between the City of Tracy and the Tracy Rural Fire Protection District (TRFPD). While the primary response area will be the master-planned community, the fire station will also respond to emergencies on I-580 north to Patterson Pass Road and south to the county line.
“As Tracy continues to grow, it’s important that our public safety services and infrastructure grow with it,” said Tracy Mayor Robert Rickman. “The groundbreaking of Fire Station 95 reflects an investment in our community’s safety, and I am proud that it will be housed by the brave men and women of the South County Fire Authority.”
“The opening of Fire Station 95 will be a key component to providing comprehensive fire protection and first responder paramedic services to south Tracy,” said South County Fire Chief Randall Bradley. “We look forward to being part of the Tracy Hills community.”
