The Cove at El Niguel is a 22 townhome-style proposed residential development that seeks to attract a younger demographic to the city at the site of a previously existing 41-unit development. Designed to live like single-family homes – with backyards and oversized garages to accommodate home gyms, bikes, surfboards and the like – the architecture is consistent with the city’s existing homes, with an edge towards more contemporary living. The plan is limited to a 2-acre area along Crown Valley Parkway, dedicating the remaining approximately 2.2 acres of the site as open space. The open space will not have any homes on it.
