What is Sycamore Heights in Rancho Cucamonga?

Sycamore Heights is a gated master-planned community of new condominiums by Lennar, located at 8316 Gabrielino Court, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730, near downtown Rancho Cucamonga and its shopping, dining, and entertainment (source: Lennar.com, August 6, 2026). Homes are sold under Lennar's "Everything's Included" approach, which builds a defined set of features into the base price rather than pricing them as separate upgrades.

The community is organized into two collections, Green Leaf and Woodland, with Woodland also offering a live-work floorplan series. Together they span a range of sizes and layouts, from a compact two-bedroom to a larger plan with a ground-floor flex space designed for working from home.

What do homes at Sycamore Heights cost?

As of August 6, 2026, Lennar lists Sycamore Heights pricing starting in the upper $500,000s. Here is the published plan lineup from the builder's official site:

Prices, availability, and plan status change often, and some floorplans are already sold out. Confirm the current numbers, the homeowners association dues, and any Mello-Roos or community facilities district (CFD) special taxes directly with Lennar before writing an offer. Third-party listing data (Livabl, August 2026) reported HOA dues of roughly $496 per month for the community, but you should verify the current figure with the builder.

What are the Green Leaf and Woodland collections?

Green Leaf is the entry point to the community, with plans from about 1,245 to 1,588 square feet and two to three bedrooms. As of this writing, two of its three plans are marked sold out, so availability is limited.

Woodland is the larger collection, with three-story plans of roughly 1,535 to 1,846 square feet and three to four bedrooms. The Woodland Live-Work series adds a ground-floor flex space and ranges from about 1,655 to 2,087 square feet, a fit for buyers who want room for a home office, studio, or small business under the same roof.

What schools are zoned for Sycamore Heights?

According to Lennar, Sycamore Heights is zoned for Valle Vista Elementary (K-5) and Cucamonga Middle School (6-8) in the Central Elementary School District, and Alta Loma High School (9-12) in the Chaffey Joint Union High School District. School attendance boundaries and ratings change, and a builder's zoning list is not a guarantee. Verify the exact schools, enrollment, and current ratings for a specific address with the districts and a source such as GreatSchools before you rely on them.

Should you bring your own agent to a new-construction community like Sycamore Heights?

Yes, and it is worth understanding why. The friendly sales team inside the model home works for the builder, not for you. Their job is to represent Lennar's interests in the transaction. When you bring your own agent, you have someone reviewing the purchase contract, the addenda, the pricing of options, the timeline, and the warranty from your side of the table.

In most new-home communities, your agent's involvement costs you nothing, because the builder has already budgeted a cooperating commission into the sale. The one rule that matters: register your agent on your very first visit, before you tour or give the sales office your information. If you walk in alone first, some builders will later refuse to recognize outside representation on that home. If you are considering Sycamore Heights, contact me before your first visit and I will represent you through the process.

How does Sycamore Heights compare with other new Rancho Cucamonga communities?

Sycamore Heights is a condominium and live-work community, which puts its entry pricing below many of the single-family new-home options in the area. If you want to compare it with detached new construction nearby, see our guides to new Lennar homes at Vinova and new Toll Brothers homes at Vinova. Because it is a gated, HOA-governed community, it also helps to understand how dues and rules work; our overview of Rancho Cucamonga HOA communities and what home buyers should know about HOAs both apply here.
