NEWARK, Calif., May 11, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- William Lyon Homes’ Bayshores master-planned community is the talk of Newark after a highly successful Model Grand Opening celebration that brought out more than 800 potential homebuyers. Guests were captivated as they toured 19 different models at five new neighborhoods, experiencing the impressive array of attached and detached home designs, as well as the spectacular setting adjacent to the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge. To date, Bayshores has sold 229 homes with 50 homeowners now moved in, and interest is rising every day. Since the model grand opening event, Bayshores has seen a dramatic surge in traffic, which has inspired a fast-paced increase in sales. Due to this high demand, several neighborhoods are temporarily sold out, making it crucial that buyers pre-qualify today through William Lyon Mortgage in anticipation of the next phase. For more information on Bayshores, visit the sales gallery and tour the models or for immediate details, go to www.LyonBayshores.com.

Beautiful new homes to fit a diversity of expectations are surrounded by parks for picnicking, tranquil open space and trails to walk, bike and explore the great outdoors. A commuter-friendly location across the Dumbarton Bridge from Palo Alto brings high-tech professionals closer to Silicon Valley, while the nearby I-880 is the main corridor to Oakland and San Jose. Come home to the refreshed lifestyle of Bayshores and the natural haven of home.
