Creative sense of responsibility sets Shea apart With the surge of new communities being built in Southern California, developers must discover ways to create a memorable distinction between their community and a similar one being built nearby. Attracting home shoppers to communities has become a creative competition. Through targeted advertising, publicity and events, most builders are able to direct interested home shoppers to visit their communities. What happens, however, once the initial momentum of the community has passed and many people have actually moved into their homes? Does the builder have a role to play in creating the identity and affecting the quality of life for the community and its residents? Taking an active role in the establishment of community identity and civic responsibility has made a difference for one developer of master-planned communities. Shea Homes of Walnut.

"At all of our developments, we have made it a priority to take part in civic affairs and encourage our residents to participate as well," said Bill York, vice president, Shea Homes. Participating in established city and community events and staging seasonal promotional events are ways in which Shea Homes is inviting their residents to become involved in both their individual neighborhood and the larger community as a whole. "We are interested in building more than houses; we want to build a quality of life for residents of Shea Homes. We feel we can best accomplish this goal through providing ways for our residents to get to know each other and participate in their neighborhood," York explained. As an example of Shea Homes' commitment to the community, the company recently entered a float in the city of Walnut's 11th annual Walnut family festival and parade.

The float, named "Alpine Autumn at Snow Creek," was built by residents of the master-planned community of Snow Creek, a Shea Homes development. Riding on the float, which received the Sweepstakes Award for "Best Float Entry," were residents of the community who dressed in German garb and danced to authentic German music. At their nearby community. Country Estates in Rowland Heights, Shea Homes celebrated the 17th Annual Buckboard Days and Band Review with another float, this time focusing on a western theme, entitled, "Shea Salutes Buckboard Days." The company has worked hard to involve residents in activities all year-round. During the holiday season, Shea has hosted Christmas home decorating contests in several of its communities.

In conjunction with the contests, high school student carolers have brought the sound of Christmas to Shea neighborhoods. "In the building industry, one of the most satisfying results of our business is a return home buyer, someone who buys a Shea home because they were pleased with the quality of their last home and the service they received," York said. "Going the extra mile to make loyal homeowners out of our residents has been successful for us and has resulted in valuable community goodwill which carries no price tag." Shea Homes, a division of J.F. Shea has grown to be one of the largest builders in the nation. The company has built thousands of homes in the Western United States over the past 20 years and currently has active developments, including several master-planned communities, in the Walnut Valley, Orange County and San Diego County.
