Whether we want to accept it or not, the change of the seasons is coming. Of course, “change of the seasons” in Arizona just means going from warm to hot, but that change can also drastically affect your energy bills. Maintaining sanity in Arizona summers means using lots of electricity on A/C, increasing the need to cut back in other ways to keep your bill down. Luckily, there are lots of ways now to be more efficient in your home. We at Shea Homes® have picked just six of the many changes you can make to cut your utility bill.

As we get rolling in 2021, one thing’s for certain: Working from home is here to stay, with some companies operating remotely as a long-term option. That means it’s time to get truly comfortable in your home office! Shea Homes® are designed for work and play, with additional bedrooms, optional finished basements, and dedicated flex spaces ideal for a private study.

Relocating to Colorado or simply seeking respite from Denver’s hustle and bustle? Homebuyers are flocking to Castle Pines, and for good reason: With 560 acres of open space and 74 park acres in just a 9.55 square mile area, this captivating city has dedicated itself to the preservation of the Centennial State’s natural beauty. That’s not all: Living in Castle Pines offers life’s modern conveniences including fine dining, grocery options, and exclusive shopping in the charming small town of Castle Rock.

It’s safe to say that there has never been a year quite like 2020, and it has led to changes, including in our homes. Spaces were reimagined, either being influenced by extra time at home, or the need to bring new aspects of life, like work, home. We quickly saw people setting up specific backgrounds for all of the new virtual meetings they’d be in. Some of this is sure to stay throughout 2021, while other trends will mostly fade. Shea Homes® has rounded up five trends we’re particularly excited about.

Shea Homes® offers four home collections featuring ranch, 2-story and main-floor primary bedrooms set within The Canyons master plan, a new home community designed to honor the beauty it surrounds.  Not only are they eye-catching, but these versatile floorplans are designed for active families — those who rest, play, and work in the same space.  In 2021, this flexibility has become a necessity to manage the stress of unprecedented times. A stylish finished basement or loft can double as an inspiring workspace for virtual learners and work from home (WFH) parents alike. Continue reading to discover Shea’s models with chic and useful basements and flex family spaces — all available at The Canyons.
