“This is truly the last chance for people to call Cienega home,” said Roberta Thitathan, the Sales Manager at Cienega. “Cienega only has a handful of residences left and currently offers monthly payments that allow renters to become homeowners for less than they might be paying in rent. We can’t stress enough how important it is to tour our models today. Right now is the best time to buy at Cienega because this opportunity won’t last for long!”

Some of the final homes at Cienega offer spectacular city-light views, while others provide perfect spaces for entertaining during the holidays. Whether it’s preparing a holiday feast for the family or hosting a festive party for friends, a new home at Cienega—with all of Brookfield’s signature style, warmth, and details—invites homeowners to start a new holiday tradition this year.

“Our Cienega homeowners are excited to celebrate their first holiday season in their beautiful new homes,” added Thitathan. “As they’ve quickly transitioned from neighbors to friends, they take pride in their community, embracing each other with the same warmth that has made Cienega such a special place to live. Now that the holidays have arrived, it’s only going to draw the community closer together.”

Cienega homeowners cherish the details found both inside and outside the homes, including classic Spanish architecture, wrought iron accents and custom Spanish deco tiles. From married couples to young professionals, residents love the spacious floorplans spanning from approximately 1,436 to 2,026 square feet, unique features such as private attached garages, and a Spanish Courtyard—an outdoor gathering area patterned after the authentic plazas found in Spanish Revival architecture. Cienega residents have discovered that this area is the perfect locale for hanging out with neighbors, barbequing, dining alfresco, or simply relaxing by the beautiful outdoor fireplace or traditional deco-tiled fountain.

Residents like Jack and Edna Hogue are so pleased with Cienega that they have been inspired to become involved in the community. “My wife is a member of the Homeowner’s Association, and we have become fast friends with our neighbors, inviting them over for dinner,” adds Jack. “We’re very happy at Cienega.”

The Hogues aren’t the only couple experiencing the joys of living at Cienega. Michelle Ly and Tony Hann love it so much that they can hardly contain their excitement. “We looked at several different communities by different builders, and out of everything we saw, Cienega was our favorite,” recalls Michelle. “We lived nearby and knew the Long Beach area well, so we really liked the location. The design of the community is beautiful and our floorplan is great for us.”

The style, warmth and details found at Cienega have not only caught the attention of homebuyers like Michelle and Tony, but also the homebuilding industry.
