Seven Trilogy® Communities by Shea Homes® Earn Top Honors for 2026

Shea Homes is celebrating a standout year as seven of its Trilogy by Shea Homes communities have been named to the Private Communities Registry 2026 Most Popular Communities of the Year list.

The recognition highlights Trilogy's continued leadership in the 55+ active adult living space, where lifestyle, amenities, and community design come together to create resort style living experiences across the country.

These honors reflect what makes Trilogy communities special, with a focus on connection, wellness, and an elevated everyday lifestyle.

A Lifestyle That Continues to Lead the Market

Trilogy communities are designed to go beyond traditional residential living, offering a full suite of amenities that often include:

* Championship golf and outdoor recreation * Fitness and wellness programs * Resort style pools and social clubs * Culinary experiences and classes * Pickleball, hiking trails, and lifestyle programming

The brand has consistently ranked among the most trusted names in active adult housing, earning recognition year after year for both customer satisfaction and overall lifestyle experience.

Why It Matters

The Most Popular Communities of the Year designation from Private Communities Registry is based on engagement and interest from prospective homebuyers researching top destinations for relocation or retirement.

Landing seven communities on the 2026 list reinforces Trilogy's position as a go to choice for buyers seeking more than just a home, but a full lifestyle upgrade.

About Trilogy by Shea Homes

Trilogy by Shea Homes develops resort style communities across the United States, designed for active adults seeking connection, wellness, and adventure. Each community blends thoughtfully designed homes with amenities and programming that encourage an engaged and social lifestyle.

Here's the list of Trilogy honorees:

Arizona: * Encanterra® (Queen Creek, AZ) - The gated community of Encanterra is nestled near the San Tan Mountains just ~45 minutes from downtown Phoenix and Scottsdale. With two resort clubs and an 18-hole golf course, Encanterra is golf resort-style living at its finest.

* Trilogy® at Wickenburg Ranch (Wickenburg, AZ) - Removed from the hustle and bustle of the Phoenix metropolitan area is the authentic Western town of Wickenburg, home to Trilogy at Wickenburg Ranch. This gated community features two golf courses (Big Wick and Li'l Wick) and a sprawling resort club.

California: * Nevina™ - a Trilogy® Boutique Community® (Paso Robles, CA) - in the heart of Paso Robles wine country, within the master plan of Viñedo, is Nevina, a community surrounded by live oak trees and vineyard-covered hillsides. The future Open™ Wellness + Social Club breaks ground in April.

* Trilogy® Bickford (Lincoln, CA) - Within the master plan of Bickford, north of Rocklin, CA, is Trilogy Bickford, a community perched atop the foothills with views of the Sierra Nevada. Ideally located for outdoor adventures, residents enjoy easy access to Folsom Lake and a short drive to Lake Tahoe. Even closer to home, the resort club is coming later this year.

Virginia: * ThreeOaks™ - a Trilogy® Boutique Community® (Culpeper, VA) - Just ~45 minutes north of Charlottesville in charming Culpeper is ThreeOaks. Models and resort-style club are set to open in 2026. This community in Virginia's horse and wine country is charming and peaceful, with convenient access to Washington, D.C.

North West: * Trilogy® Valor (Kuna, ID) - Just ~16 miles southwest of downtown Boise in the Treasure Valley is Trilogy Valor, which is within the master plan of Valor. With a 36-hole golf course in Valor and mountains, rivers and outdoor recreation nearby, this community is well suited for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a gated golf community.

* Verterra® - a Trilogy® Boutique Community® (Bonney Lake, WA) - Surrounded by lush forests and rich land, Verterra is situated within the Tehaleh® master plan, which boasts ~1,800 acres of open space, trails, parks and so much more. Mount Rainier provides a beautiful backdrop for this community just ~40 minutes from Seattle. With the resort-style club coming soon, life is about to get even sweeter.
