PALACIO DEL MAR is a guard gated community for people who enjoy an active lifestyle with a variety of onsite amenities.  Palacio has all that and more with an executive style golf course, two pools & spas, basketball court, four tennis courts & fitness center.  Although the majority of lot sizes are small, many of them have golf course views or views of the surrounding hills.  Palacio is a community of 421 homes and was built between 1995-1997.  There are actually two communities in Palacio - The Vintage and Palacio, but most call the development, "Palacio" and there is very little difference between the floor plans in each development.   The six floor plans feature homes ranging in size from 1,912 to 3,439 square feet and from 4 to 6 bedrooms and 3 to  bathrooms.    Located off of Hwy 56, this community is a popular and desired community due to its close proximity to shopping centers, schools, parks & freeway access.  HOA Dues cover the common area maintenance, gated community and recreational amenities, along with other community expenses.
