Our History
A 102 home community nestled in the foothills of Fairfield, California.
The Paradise Cove Development was designed and constructed by Porter Homes of Brentwood, California in conjunction with Borrecco/Killian Landscape Architects of Walnut Creek, California. The final plans for our then called Rancho Lagunita development was completed and signed off by the City of Fairfield, California in July of 1997. construction of the homes in Rancho Lagunita began in 1998 and continued with multiple phases, and price increases, through 2000.
Upon completion of the Rancho Lagunita Project, we officially became Paradise Cove and we adopted the By-Laws and CC&R's that were initially developed by the Builders Attorney's. These by-laws and CC&R's continue to be used today with many approved changes by the community primarily to the CC&R's.
The Porter Homes builder advertised in the local and surrounding papers that Paradise Cove would be a beautiful 102 home community with a beautiful lake, fountain, landscaping, etc. as the main focal point within our community. Upon completion of the development Port Homes put a Rod Iron Fence around the lake with signs says "KEEP OUT - Wet Land Mitigation". After multiple letter between the HOA and Porter Homes brought no agreement, the HOA on behalf of our community hired attorney's from San Mateo and sued the Porter Homes. We were required to settle the lawsuit under binding arbitration and our HOA prevailed.
With the proceeds from the arbitration settlement and after paying our attorney's the HOA was able to accomplish all that makes our community beautiful and unique to our community and our neighbors. We had entry walls installed with a pillar in the median strip, landscaping and lights on the entry corner of Avenido Del Lago and Peppertree, benches and garbage cans at areas around the lake, a community Patio with benches and handicap ramps to our Dock and finally a beautiful fountain that runs every evening and is the only fountain in the entire area that is lite at night.
Our Paradise Cove Community continues to be beautifully maintained and is a jewel in the City of Fairfield.
