Cotino Home Collections Explained
A buyer-focused comparison of Cotino’s four housing tiers, 41 named plans, age designations, builders and costs beyond the base price.
Cotino’s Villa, Cottage, Grand and Estate collections are not four versions of the same house. They create different combinations of floor-plan scale, homesite frontage, garage placement, bedroom capacity, age designation and builder choice.
The collection name is only the beginning of the comparison. A larger Grand plan can overlap a smaller Estate home in size and price, while structural options, homesite premiums, pools, casitas and design selections can move the completed cost far beyond the advertised base price.
To compare the four participating builders by collections, plan catalog and buyer priorities, read Cotino Builders Compared.
- Villa is the compact starting point, with age designation checked by homesite: three Shea Homes plans range from approximately 1,666 to 1,990 square feet and use rear-entry garages.
- Cottage currently serves Longtable Park’s 55+ residents: six Shea plans range from approximately 2,066 to 2,821 square feet.
- Grand offers the broadest current plan selection: Shea Homes and Davidson Communities provide 16 named plans from approximately 2,782 to 3,935 square feet.
- Estate prioritizes scale and flexibility: 16 named plans from three builders range from approximately 3,516 to 7,344 square feet in the current home-search inventory.
- Home price and club access are separate decisions: advertised prices are starting points, and Artisan Club membership is voluntary and separately charged.
Disney now identifies Villa, Cottage and Grand homes within Longtable Park’s 55+ offering. The collection name alone does not establish a home’s age designation. Check the specific homesite before narrowing your search. See Disney’s Longtable Park information.
Cotino Home Collections at a Glance
Four collections, four distinct starting points
Prices below are published starting figures—not completed-home budgets. Availability, prices, options and designated homesites can change without notice.
Compact homes with rear-entry garages
Villa favors manageable interiors and a neighborhood-oriented streetscape. Rear-entry garages distinguish it from Cotino’s other collections.
Longtable Park residences for adults 55+
Most Cottage plans are single-story, two-bedroom designs with flex space and strong indoor-outdoor connections; Moderne is the two-story exception.
The broadest mix of plans and builders
Grand covers several use cases, from efficient three-bedroom single-story plans to larger two-story designs with four or five bedrooms. Designated 55+ opportunities are also offered in Longtable Park; confirm the exact homesite.
Larger homesites and greater configuration potential
Estate is the natural starting point for extensive guest space, larger garages, multigenerational living and substantial outdoor programs.

Select the priority that matters most. This identifies where to begin—not a substitute for comparing the exact plan, homesite and final builder worksheet.
Villa is Cotino’s most compact option, with both all-ages and designated 55+ opportunities to verify by homesite. It fits buyers who value two-bedroom-oriented living, a lower starting tier and rear-entry garages more than extensive guest suites or large private yards.
Villa Collection: Cotino’s Most Compact Homes
Shea Homes currently offers three Villa plans from approximately 1,666 to 1,990 square feet. Villa includes all-ages and designated 55+ opportunities, depending on the homesite and release. Its plans primarily support two-bedroom living, although Hue can be configured with a third bedroom.
The defining site-planning feature is the rear-entry garage. Moving the garage away from the main front elevation creates a more residential, pedestrian-oriented streetscape and a different arrival pattern from the front-loaded garages common across the desert.
Villa floor plans
Villa is not merely a smaller Estate product. Its smaller homesites, lower bedroom counts and rear-loaded garages produce a distinct lifestyle. It naturally fits lock-and-leave living better than households requiring multiple guest suites, extensive garage space or a large private yard.
Cottage Collection: Longtable Park 55+ Living
The current Cottage offering consists of six Shea Homes plans from approximately 2,066 to 2,821 square feet. The official home-search inventory labels these homes 55+ only, and Storyliving by Disney places the collection in Longtable Park.
Most Cottage plans are single-story, two-bedroom homes with flex space, generous primary suites and covered outdoor areas. Moderne is the exception: a two-story design with a loft and covered upper deck.
Cottage floor plans
- PastelApproximately 2,066 sq. ft.
- AtelierApproximately 2,262 sq. ft.
- Atelier IIApproximately 2,275 sq. ft.
- Palmera IIApproximately 2,282 sq. ft.

Longtable Park’s 55+ offering includes designated homes in the Villa, Cottage and Grand collections. Cotino also offers all-ages neighborhoods. Confirm the age designation and occupancy requirements for the exact homesite and release in the current builder and governing documents.
Grand Collection: The Broadest Range of Cotino Homes
Grand currently offers the widest plan selection at Cotino. Shea Homes and Davidson Communities provide 16 named designs from approximately 2,782 to 3,935 square feet, with both one- and two-story layouts.
Shea’s four plans form the lower portion of the range. Davidson extends Grand into larger three-, four- and five-bedroom configurations, including related one- and two-story or expanded variants.
Shea Homes Grand plans
- SonoraApproximately 2,782 sq. ft.
- MelodiaApproximately 2,925 sq. ft.
- AerionApproximately 3,393 sq. ft.

Grand occupies the middle of Cotino’s housing ladder, but its upper end overlaps Estate. A larger Grand design can provide more bedrooms than a smaller Estate plan, while the Estate homesite may offer more room for garage, guest-house or outdoor-living options. The collection name alone does not settle that comparison.
Estate Collection: Larger Homesites and More Flexibility
Estate contains Cotino’s largest and most configurable current residences. The 16 named plans in the official home-search inventory range from approximately 3,516 to 7,344 square feet and come from Woodbridge Pacific Group, Brian Foster Residences and Davidson Communities.
Each builder approaches Estate differently. Woodbridge offers production plans with broad structural ranges. Brian Foster emphasizes designer-curated homes and high bedroom capacity. Davidson moves into the largest current named designs, including Portrait and Season.
Woodbridge Pacific Group Estate plans
- WindsongApproximately 3,516 sq. ft.
- DaybreakApproximately 3,576 sq. ft.
- HarmonyApproximately 3,719 sq. ft.
- SandstoneApproximately 3,807 sq. ft.
- Windsong IIApproximately 3,936 sq. ft.
- WestwindApproximately 3,985 sq. ft.
- Daybreak IIApproximately 4,028 sq. ft.
- Harmony IIApproximately 4,193 sq. ft.
- Westwind IIApproximately 4,485 sq. ft.
Brian Foster Residences Estate plans
Davidson Communities Estate plans
- PortraitApproximately 5,713 sq. ft.
- Portrait IIApproximately 5,713 sq. ft.
- SeasonApproximately 7,344 sq. ft.
Estate is the logical first look for multigenerational living, substantial guest accommodations, larger garages or an ambitious outdoor program. It also creates the greatest opportunity for the finished price to separate from the published starting figure.
Home Collection and Architectural Style Are Separate Choices
Villa, Cottage, Grand and Estate describe Cotino’s general housing products. Agrarian, Oasis, Aspiron and Coachella describe exterior architectural languages. A single floor plan may be offered with more than one exterior treatment, subject to the builder, homesite, elevation availability and neighborhood design requirements.
Natural materials and contemporary forms
A modern interpretation of the valley’s agricultural history using elements such as stone, timber and familiar ranch forms.
Greater Palm Springs modernism
Low profiles, clean geometry and indoor-outdoor connections informed by the region’s midcentury architectural identity.
Contemporary desert expression
A bolder present-day approach using materials such as glass and concrete with playful color and artistic detailing.
Regional landscape and history
An exterior language shaped by the desert environment and the architectural history of the Coachella Valley.

Why the Finished Price Can Exceed the Base Price
A published “from” price establishes the least expensive current starting configuration. It is not a likely all-in total for every homesite or completed residence.
Homesite premiums and plan changes
Orientation, view, location, lot size, casitas, guest suites, expanded garages and other structural selections can change the contract price substantially.
Design, landscape and outdoor living
Interior selections, appliances, window coverings, pools, spas, landscape packages, covered patios and outdoor kitchens can sit above the base plan.
A quick move-in home therefore cannot be compared with a base plan by headline price alone. The useful comparison is an itemized one: square footage, bedrooms, structural additions, design selections, homesite premium, landscaping, pool and included appliances.
A completed Grand home with a pool, casita and preferred homesite can cost more than an entry-level Estate plan before options. A smaller home on a stronger homesite can also command a larger premium than a bigger plan elsewhere.
Homeownership, Artisan Club and Beach Access
Cotino homeownership, Artisan Club membership and access to Cotino Bay are separate arrangements. Purchasing a residence does not automatically include club membership or access to the bay and beaches.
The Artisan Club is voluntary and separately charged for accepted members. Public access to the planned Cotino Bay Beach will also require its own admission arrangement. These costs should not be folded into a home’s base price when comparing collections.
Review Artisan Club membership, amenities and access.
How to Compare Two Cotino Homes Properly
- Start with household function: bedroom count, stairs, guest needs, primary-suite location and daily living spaces.
- Compare exact homesites: frontage, orientation, privacy, views, nearby construction and outdoor-area potential.
- Separate included features from options: a model home is not a base specification.
- Normalize the completed cost: include homesite premiums, structural choices, design selections, pool, landscape and closing-related builder charges.
- Confirm age and access rules: verify the specific homesite’s age designation and keep club or beach access separate.
