Ryland places emphasis on variety of housing

In the southeastern valley is Sunrise Ridge, where five neighborhoods are available. The Calarosa subdivision offers single- and two-story residences as large as 3,697 square feet with as many as six bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths. Features, per plan, include island kitchens, grand staircases, bay windows, and two- and three-car garages. Room options include a library or den, a master retreat, and a secondary master suite or bonus room.

The homes are priced from the low $300,000s.
