Shea Homes is the current Villa builder, with three plans ranging from approximately 1,666 to 1,990 square feet.

The Patina begins at approximately 1,666 square feet with two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a two-car garage. Tapestry increases the interior to approximately 1,879 square feet and adds a powder room. Hue is the largest Villa design at approximately 1,990 square feet, with configurations offering two or three bedrooms and two or three full bathrooms.

Published starting prices ranged from $1,339,990 for Patina to $1,449,990 for Hue in July 2026.

Villa homes are distinguished by rear-entry garages. Moving the garage away from the primary front elevation changes the streetscape and gives the homes a more residential, pedestrian-oriented appearance. It also creates a different site-planning pattern from the conventional front-loaded garages found throughout much of the desert.

Most Villa plans emphasize two-bedroom living, although expanded Hue configurations can support a third bedroom.

Villa Floor Plans

• Patina: approximately 1,666 square feet
• Tapestry: approximately 1,879 square feet
• Hue: approximately 1,990 square feet

Villa is not simply a scaled-down Estate product. Smaller homesites, rear-loaded garages, and lower bedroom counts create a distinct lifestyle and streetscape. The collection fits lock-and-leave living more naturally than buyers seeking extensive guest suites, multigenerational space, or large private yards.

The six Cottage designs by Shea Homes range from approximately 2,066 to 2,821 square feet. Most are single-story, two-bedroom homes featuring flex space, generous primary suites, and indoor-outdoor living areas. Moderne is the exception, offering the collection’s largest floor plan and a two-story layout at approximately 2,821 square feet. Published starting prices ranged from $1,589,990 for Pastel to $1,819,990 for Moderne in July 2026. Certain displayed prices included a stated homesite premium.

Cottage Floor Plans

• Pastel: approximately 2,066 square feet
• Atelier: approximately 2,262 square feet
• Atelier II: approximately 2,275 square feet
• Palmera II: approximately 2,282 square feet
• Palmera: approximately 2,322 square feet
• Moderne: approximately 2,821 square feet

The Cottage Collection is well suited to buyers who prefer mostly single-story living, flexible interior spaces, generous primary suites, and a strong connection to outdoor areas. Its two-bedroom-focused designs offer manageable layouts for everyday living, while Moderne provides a larger, two-story option. Buyers needing several secondary bedrooms or extensive multigenerational space may find the Grand or Estate collections more suitable.

Grand is the largest and most varied Cotino collection by number of floor plans. Shea Homes and Davidson Communities currently offer a combined 16 designs ranging from approximately 2,782 to 3,935 square feet.

Shea’s Grand plans begin with Sonora at approximately 2,782 square feet and extend through Panoramica at approximately 3,714 square feet. Melodia occupies the middle of the range, while Aerion and Panoramica provide two-story alternatives. Published starting prices for the Shea plans ranged from $1,924,990 to $2,249,990 in July 2026.

Davidson’s Grand lineup starts around 3,001 square feet and reaches approximately 3,935 square feet. Several designs are organized into related one- and two-story or expanded variants, including Cielo and Cielo II, Reverie and Reverie II, Canvas and Canvas II, Lyric and Lyric II, Silhouette and Silhouette II, and Hideaway and Hideaway II.

Published Davidson Grand pricing generally ranged from the mid-$2.3 millions to the low-$2.8 millions in July 2026. Some displayed starting prices included a stated $15,000 homesite premium.

• Sonora: approximately 2,782 square feet
• Melodia: approximately 2,925 square feet
• Aerion: approximately 3,393 square feet
• Panoramica: approximately 3,714 square feet

Davidson Grand Floor Plans

• Cielo: approximately 3,001 square feet
• Reverie: approximately 3,102 square feet
• Hideaway: approximately 3,263 square feet
• Canvas: approximately 3,325 square feet
• Lyric: approximately 3,347 square feet
• Silhouette: approximately 3,470 square feet
• Cielo II: approximately 3,558 square feet
• Reverie II: approximately 3,581 square feet
• Canvas II: approximately 3,776 square feet

• Hideaway II: approximately 3,935 square feet

Grand occupies the middle of Cotino’s housing ladder, but the label covers several different use cases. At the lower end, Sonora and Melodia create a step up from Cottage-size living without entering Estate pricing. At the upper end, Davidson’s expanded plans provide four- and five-bedroom configurations that begin to overlap with Estate homes in size and budget.

That overlap makes the Grand-versus-Estate decision more nuanced than square footage alone. A larger Grand plan may provide more bedrooms than a smaller Estate plan, while an Estate homesite may offer greater yard, garage, casita, or structural-option potential. The final comparison depends on the specific floor plan and homesite rather than the collection label.

The Estate Collection contains Cotino’s largest and most configurable residences. Cotino officially advertises Estate homes ranging from approximately 3,470 to 10,970 square feet. The 16 individually named floor plans detailed below range from approximately 3,516 to 7,323 square feet and come from Woodbridge Pacific Group, Brian Foster Residences, and Davidson Communities.

Woodbridge Pacific Group offers nine plans from approximately 3,516 to 4,485 square feet. Bedroom and bathroom ranges are unusually broad because structural choices can substantially alter the layouts. Several designs can accommodate additional suites, expanded garages, or detached living arrangements where offered.

Published Woodbridge starting prices began at approximately $2.39 million in July 2026 and reached approximately $3.203 million for Westwind II. Some displayed prices included a stated $91,000 homesite premium.

Woodbridge Estate Floor Plans

• Windsong: approximately 3,516 square feet
• Daybreak: approximately 3,576 square feet
• Harmony: approximately 3,719 square feet
• Sandstone: approximately 3,807 square feet
• Windsong II: approximately 3,936 square feet
• Westwind: approximately 3,985 square feet
• Daybreak II: approximately 4,028 square feet
• Harmony II: approximately 4,193 square feet
• Westwind II: approximately 4,485 square feet

Brian Foster Residences adds four designer-curated Estate plans ranging from approximately 4,067 to 4,920 square feet. These homes occupy a different position from a conventional production plan. Public starting prices were not displayed, and the offering emphasizes curated design, high bedroom capacity, and larger garage configurations. Stellar can support up to eight bedrooms and eight full bathrooms, depending on the selected configuration.

• Mirage: approximately 4,067 square feet
• Stellar: approximately 4,221 square feet
• Serene: approximately 4,340 square feet
• Pinnacle: approximately 4,920 square feet

Davidson’s Estate lineup moves well beyond the scale of its Grand Collection. Portrait and Portrait II are each approximately 5,713 square feet, while Season reaches approximately 7,323 square feet. Public starting prices were not displayed for these three plans.

Davidson Estate Floor Plans

• Portrait: approximately 5,713 square feet
• Portrait II: approximately 5,713 square feet
• Season: approximately 7,323 square feet

Estate is the most logical starting point for buyers prioritizing multigenerational living, extensive guest accommodations, substantial outdoor entertainment areas, or additional garage capacity. It also creates the greatest opportunity for the final price to move well beyond the published starting figure.

Cotino’s product collections should not be confused with its architectural design collections. Villa, Cottage, Grand, and Estate describe the general housing category. Agrarian, Oasis, Aspiron, and Coachella describe exterior architectural languages.

Agrarian combines natural materials and contemporary forms. Oasis draws from Greater Palm Springs modernism. Aspiron takes a bolder contemporary approach with materials such as glass and concrete. Coachella interprets the region’s desert landscape and architectural history.

A floor plan may be available with more than one exterior style, and small square-footage differences can occur between elevations. Exterior availability also depends on the builder, plan, homesite, and neighborhood design requirements.

Cotino’s published “from” prices establish a starting point, not a likely all-in total. The gap between a base plan and a completed home can include:

• Homesite premiums
• Structural options and expanded floor plans
• Casitas or additional guest accommodations
• Pools, spas, and landscape packages
• Outdoor kitchens and covered living areas
• Interior design selections
• Appliance and window-covering packages
• View, orientation, and lot-position premiums

A Palmera plan illustrates how significant the difference can be. The base plan was shown at approximately 2,322 square feet with two bedrooms, while a completed homesite expanded to approximately 2,782 square feet with three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a separate casita. That finished home carried a price far above the plan’s published starting figure.

Comparing Cotino homes by base price alone can therefore produce a distorted result. A completed Grand home with a pool and extensive design upgrades may cost more than an entry-level Estate plan before options. A smaller home on a preferred homesite may also command a larger premium than a bigger plan in a less favored location.

Villa may fit best when:

• Under 2,000 square feet is the priority.
• Two-bedroom living is sufficient.
• A rear-entry garage and neighborhood-oriented streetscape are appealing.
• Cotino’s lowest current starting-price tier is the target.

Cottage may fit best when:

• Mostly single-story living is preferred.
• Two-bedroom living with flexible bonus space meets the household’s needs.
• Generous primary suites and indoor-outdoor living are priorities.
• A larger layout than Villa is desired without moving into Grand pricing and scale.

Grand may fit best when:

• More bedroom capacity is needed without moving into the largest Estate tier.
• A choice between Shea and Davidson plans is valuable.
• Both one- and two-story layouts are under consideration.
• The purchase requires the broadest mix of size and price options.

Estate may fit best when:

• Multigenerational living or extensive guest space is a priority.
• Larger garages, yards, or structural options matter.
• Designer-curated or highly configurable residences are preferred.
• The budget can accommodate substantial premiums and upgrades beyond the base price.

Cotino’s four collections create a deliberate housing ladder rather than a simple good-better-best hierarchy. Villa offers Cotino’s most compact floor plans. Cottage emphasizes manageable layouts and flexible living spaces. Grand provides the widest range of designs and pricing, while Estate focuses on scale, homesite potential, and customization.

The strongest comparison begins with household needs rather than the collection name: bedroom count, single-story versus two-story living, guest accommodations, garage capacity, yard expectations, and optional upgrades. These factors reveal the practical differences between Cotino homes more clearly than square footage or base price alone.
