There is nothing that compares to living at Seabridge in the Channel Islands Harbor, where beautiful homes come with a nautical lifestyle that buyers will never want to leave. This landmark marina community will begin presales next Saturday for its Port 121 neighborhood, which offers charming flats, town homes, live/work and loft designs.

Homebuyers who love the idea of prestigious island living are encouraged to visit Seabridge, which was honored at the Nationals Competition and MAME Awards as Master-Planned Community of the Year.

"Creative entrepreneurs who desire carefree, coastal surroundings and innovative live/work homes that integrate one's personal goals with their business aspirations are finding Port 121 the address of a lifetime," said Mark Higgins, senior vice president of sales and marketing for D.R. Horton, America's Builder. "Since this neighborhood has been generating tremendous interest, I encourage prospective buyers to visit today. With prices starting from the high $300,000s, it is definitely beneficial for serious buyers to choose a favorite floor plan soon.

"The neighborhood's convenient location in Seabridge's mainland village is another impressive advantage for residents who want to completely enjoy the coastal climate and have the freedom to walk to shops and restaurants within their immediate surroundings."

The flats, town homes, live/work and loft designs of Port 121 range from approximately 873 to 1,868 square feet of living space, with up to three bedrooms and one to two baths. Gourmet kitchens with granite countertops, soaring volume ceilings (select plans) and gated subterranean parking reveal an ambiance of casual sophistication.

While it may vary per plan, homes are fully equipped with Category 5 high-speed data transmission wiring, which creates Local Area Networking capabilities, pre-wiring for DSS in the living room and master bedrooms and Category 5 telephone wiring in all bedrooms, loft, living room and kitchen.

During a tour of Seabridge, guests can learn more about the community's unique collections now selling in the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean, which include the marina village and island residences of Port Marluna and the gated island residences of Port Meridian. Current prices at Seabridge start from $499,000.

Port Marluna's bright and charming single-level flats are located within the backdrop of the mainland village and island. Attached designs range from approximately 1,720 to 2,015 square feet of space and offer two to three bedrooms and two and one-half baths.

The architecturally magnificent residences at Port Meridian are located in a gated island setting with private boat docks and showcase two-story designs that range from approximately 2,653 to 2,868 square feet, with three to five bedrooms, two and one-half to three baths and two-car garages.

Three signature bridges will span the marina and the channels, linking the gated islands and village together so that island residents can stroll over to village shops and restaurants; mainland homeowners can cross over to utilize the community's private recreation. One of the bridges has also been planned to exclusively accommodate pedestrian traffic.

Seabridge homeowners have numerous options to spend their leisure time socializing, playing and relaxing outdoors. The newly opened Coral Island Recreation Center offers a luxurious, parklike setting that encompasses approximately 6,300 square feet. This lavish facility includes a swimming pool, spa and sundecks, an entry tower reception area, courtyards and pavilion, waterfront fitness center, entertainment lounge with fireplace, game room, bay-view patio and barbecue area.

Public amenities include the new waterfront promenade marina village with a scenic plaza, shops, dining and a mini-amphitheater with bay-view seating and a bay-front public marina.

Service-oriented businesses and a proposed Channel Islands Harbor Patrol station will complete the community's self-sufficient, well-rounded surroundings.

The Shops at Seabridge are now open, giving residents the freedom to stroll to favorite restaurants and services at the community's waterfront promenade. A Vons supermarket, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and Attitudes Day Spa are among the popular amenities that give Seabridge homeowners the convenience they demand in their daily lives.
