The Retreat
Cul-de-sacs lined with diverse housing styles in The Retreat
With around five different builders for the gated community, homes will vary, from modern twists on the Spanish Revivals with lots of slanted tile roofs and asymmetry to Craftsman-style homes in dusty earth tones. Lots typically span from 3000 to 4000 square feet, creating a spacious feel to the suburb. Many floorplans have two stories with three to four bedrooms. Single-story options are also available with the same amount of square footage. In the open residential areas, two-story Spanish-style homes are the standard. Throughout the neighborhood, cul-de-sacs and wide sidewalks encourage connection.Because of the home and lot sizes, houses in this neighborhood usually start at around $900,000. Larger houses and lots can go for over $2 million. Many homeowners in the neighborhood are beginning to invest in home improvements and additions. Gage says residents have a lot of equity right now, so it’s common to start seeing more backyard pools and upgraded landscaping.

Hike the Santa Ana Mountains
Residents can enjoy the lovely California weather in Retreat Park within the gated community. The park provides several amenities like outdoor exercise equipment and a large, open grassy area. Outside of the gates, California Meadows Park has a similar green lawn and basketball courts. The Retreat also borders the Cleveland National Forest, where hikers can explore the Santa Ana Mountains through trails of varying difficulty.While the Champions Club at The Retreat has closed its greens to golfers, residents can still reserve the clubhouse on the grounds for events, with exceptional catering from the in-house team. The pool is open in the summertime for residents with social memberships through the homeowners association. Avid golfers in The Retreat area have easy access to other local golf courses, including those in Eagle Glen, Trilogy and Dos Lagos. The current owner of the golf course closed it with plans to turn it into more housing, Gage says it’s unlikely homeowners will give their ok.

Mexican restaurants along the 15
The Retreat’s proximity to the 15 makes it easy to access restaurants and commercial centers in the Corona area. The Crossings at Corona is just over 3 miles away and the Shops at Dos Lagos is within 2 miles of the community, each offering popular commercial chains and local eateries. Residents love eating at Reunion Kitchen and Drink, which brings a local feel to hearty, high-end dishes. Miguel’s California Mexican Cocina and Cantina was founded by Corona locals. Their flan is even a family recipe. Popular chains like Target and Trader Joe’s are open for grocery shopping.

Commutes into Orange County via the 15
Transportation in Trilogy mainly relies on cars, but the wide streets and large garages make it easy to navigate. Within the gated section of the neighborhood, residents must park in their garages or driveways, and this is enforced by the community’s security guards. Most people in The Retreat commute about 30 into Orange County, which they can access through the fast-track lanes and the 15. Just 7.5 miles away is the Corona Regional Medical Center. The closest airport is Corona Municipal Airport, over 11 miles from The Retreat.
