Bedrooms are generously sized, complete with custom shutters and ceiling fans.
Step out to your relaxing patio with a custom water feature—perfect for morning coffee, unwinding after work, or saying hello to friendly neighbors.

The HOA also includes 13 parks, multiple pools, pickleball, tennis, sports courts, and community events year-round.
RSM has been ranked as a safest city in California—offering a walkable, active lifestyle with shops, restaurants, coffee houses, and parks all close by. Whether it’s kayaking on the lake, playing a quick game of pickleball, or relaxing at the beach club, every day feels like a getaway. And if you’re commuting, you’ll appreciate quick access to the 241 Toll Road and a short drive to the coast.
This isn’t just a smart find—it’s the home you’ll love calling your own! Come see why!
