Haven Floor Plan – Desert Retreat (Indio, CA)

Read more about this resourceDetails, local context and useful information.

Approx. 1,859 Sq Ft | 2–3 Bedrooms | 2–2.5 Bathrooms | Den | Covered Patio | 2-Car Garage

The Haven is where things start to feel more architectural.

It’s larger than the Classic Series homes, but it doesn’t feel oversized. Instead, it’s designed around separation, flexibility, and a stronger entertaining layout.

If you want something that lives comfortably full-time — not just seasonally — the Haven deserves attention.

What Makes the Haven Different

True Separation Between Living and Sleeping Areas

The primary suite sits privately on one side of the home, while the guest bedroom and den are positioned on the opposite wing.

That layout creates:

  • Excellent guest privacy

  • Quiet work-from-home space

  • A natural separation between daily living and rest

This isn’t just “two bedrooms and a den.” It’s a layout built for how people actually live.

Dedicated Den (That Feels Legitimate)

The den isn’t a leftover nook — it’s a real room.

At nearly 14’ x 12’, it works well as:

  • A home office

  • A media room

  • A hobby space

  • Or a third bedroom conversion (depending on structural options)

For buyers who want flexibility without jumping to the largest plans, this is a strong middle ground.

Open Kitchen + Dining + Family Room Flow

The kitchen anchors the center of the home and connects directly to:

  • The dining area

  • The family room

  • The covered patio

There’s a natural indoor-outdoor connection here that feels stronger than the smaller plans.

Entertaining works comfortably — and the square footage supports larger furniture layouts.

Primary Suite with Depth

The primary bedroom includes:

  • A spacious sleeping area

  • A large walk-in closet

  • Dual bath configuration with generous proportions

The layout feels more private and buffered compared to entry-level plans.

Who the Haven Is Perfect For

  • Full-time residents who want space without going over 2,000 sq ft

  • Buyers who want a den but don’t need a golf cart garage

  • Couples who host guests frequently

  • Buyers considering long-term livability and comfort

It’s often chosen by people who tour the Sanctuary and Preserve and realize they don’t need quite that much home.

Structural Options to Watch

Depending on release and builder offerings, the Haven may include options such as:

  • Bedroom 3 conversion

  • Alternative door styles for den (French / double door look)

  • Upgraded patio slider systems

  • Owner’s bath layout variations (including accessibility-friendly shower options)

  • Kitchen island configuration upgrades

If you’re choosing between floor plans, this is one where structural decisions matter more than cosmetic upgrades.

My Take

The Haven feels balanced.

It’s not oversized.
It’s not trying too hard.

It simply gives you:

  • Smart separation

  • A real den

  • Comfortable entertaining space

  • Long-term usability

Before you narrow the search

A few useful answers.

What can I explore in the 55+ resource collection?

Explore communities through their amenities, recreation, neighborhood features and homes. Individual resources help you get to know one part of a community; the buying guides bring the larger picture together.

Does a 55+ label tell me every rule for the home?

Use it as a starting point for research. Request the current governing documents and confirm occupancy, age verification, guest and rental rules with the association for the specific home or section.

Is everything at the clubhouse included in the HOA?

Ask for an itemized explanation. Association services, private-club membership, golf and special programs can have different access terms and charges. The community buying guide helps you know which questions to ask.

How can I find more resources for the same community?

Follow the community guide linked on this page for a broader look. You can also open the 55+ resource hub to explore communities and related resources across the valley.

Where should I look for current prices and available homes?
