Esperanza

Esperanza is the first single-family detached 55+ active adult community in Ontario, California — a gated masterplan community by Lennar located in the growing Ontario Ranch area of the Inland Empire. Planned for 464 total single-family homes, construction began in 2019 and continues today, with new Lennar homes still being released alongside an active resale market. Homes are organized into three distinct collections: Modena (the largest plans, 1,822–2,135 sq ft), Tejara (1,418–1,558 sq ft), and Vivir (1,381–1,558 sq ft). Most homes are single-story with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and attached two-car garages, and all come with Lennar's Everything's Included® package — standard features like quartz countertops, stainless steel Whirlpool appliances, Shaker-style cabinets, luxury vinyl plank flooring, solar energy systems, smart-home technology, and EV charging pre-wiring. A limited run of 20 Modena homes was built with a private Next-Gen suite for multigenerational living, a rarity among 55+ communities. At the heart of Esperanza is the 9,000-square-foot La Jolla Club, a resort-style clubhouse that sets the tone for daily life. Inside are multiple event and gathering spaces, a full-service bar, catering kitchen, fitness center, movement studio, craft area, game tables, and wine lockers. Outside, residents enjoy a cabana-lined beach-entry resort pool and spa, full outdoor kitchen, fire pits, dining areas, bocce ball courts, pickleball courts, a community garden, dog parks, and walking trails. A full-time lifestyle coordinator runs an active calendar — Bagels and Brew, fitness classes, holiday parties, wine pairings, Jazz and Wine Under The Stars, live music, pop-up dinners, pool parties, and workshops like the succulent-making class. The setting is pure Southern California suburban convenience. Esperanza sits minutes from I-15 and CA-60, with Ontario Mills, Victoria Gardens, Ontario Plaza Shopping Center, and Eastvale shopping and dining all nearby. Kindred Hospital Ontario and Kaiser Permanente handle medical needs, and Ontario International Airport is only a short drive away for travel. Red Hill Golf Club, Whispering Lakes Golf Course, Westwind Park, and Cucamonga-Guasti Regional Park give residents plenty of outdoor options, and downtown Los Angeles, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and Malibu are all within reasonable reach. For buyers who want a brand-new home, a modern amenity package, an organized social calendar, and easy freeway access to the entire LA basin, Esperanza fills a unique niche as Ontario's first and only single-family 55+ community.
