Newlyweds Find Their Dream Home and a Place to Grow at Willow at Rienda by Trumark Homes

After getting married just over a year ago, Renetta Morrelli Cardenas and her husband, Francisco, have been saving for a place of their own. High on their priority list was finding a neighborhood where they could put down roots and eventually raise a family. They found the perfect fit at Willow at Rienda by Trumark Homes in Rancho Mission Viejo, California.

“One of my best friends lives in Rancho Mission Viejo, so we spent a lot of time there visiting them and house-sitting. We fell in love with the community and watched it grow. When we toured the Willow models in the Village of Rienda, we ended up making a reservation the very same day. We were not expecting to, but the Trumark Homes models were beautiful, the price was right, and the neighborhood just felt perfect for us.”

The couple is currently in the process of moving in. While they still have a few final touches to complete, the excitement of homeownership is setting in.

“We’ve lived together in apartments, but this feels different,” said Renetta. “It’s ours. We’re so ready to create memories and start our family here.”

The process of buying a first home can often feel daunting, but Renetta noted that Trumark Homes ensured the experience was seamless for the couple. “The whole process was amazing, and the entire team made it such a positive experience for us. I want to give credit to the sales and project teams as they truly went above and beyond.”

Willow’s amenities were another big draw and played an important role in their decision. “Pools, parks, playgrounds, trails, even a dog park for our little dog. I love that we’ll have barbecues, fire pits, and all these shared spaces where we can gather with friends and family.”

They wanted a place where kids play in the cul-de-sac and neighbors connect with each other. The Village of Rienda in Rancho Mission Viejo had the idyllic family-friendly feel they were looking for.
The couple is already looking forward to everything their new neighborhood has to offer. “Rancho Mission Viejo feels like the perfect spot for young families. Our new home is everything we were looking for and we cannot wait to start this new chapter.”
