"The topography is remarkable. The open space, shopping and community culture surrounded by distinct neighborhood districts will distinguish Civita from everything else in San Diego."

A Name with a Civic Heart, a Vital Spirit and Sense of Place.

Great places are more than the sum of their parts. When the right kinds of ingredients come together, places take on a life, an attitude, an energy and a purpose all their own. Home, recreation, shopping and connectivity all live here, together. They engender a sense of belonging, of real community, of civic pride. They exude a vitality that everyone can sense and delight in.

We are determined to seed such a place, a place that will live happily and age gracefully during a long, fruitful life. Where the unique hillside setting blends in with its natural surroundings and becomes home to a variety of architectural styles that are reminiscent of California history with a hint of modern influence. Here, landscape and outdoor living are everything.

This is a place based on leading-edge ideas in sustainable development combined with the timeless design principles of town planning. It’s called Civita – a blend of Civic and Vitality. A vibrant setting that whole-heartedly embraces Communio Ante Ipsum – a credo inspired by local community leader Malin Burnham’s strong belief in “Community Before Self.”
