The William Lyon Company built the Amberwood subdivision in Pleasanton in 1976, but home sales continued into early 1978, most likely affected by the recession of 1976. This ad shows the early 1978 sales price of homes, starting at $80,990.
The Amberwood subdivision only occupied a portion of this tract with the rest of the land building out in the early 80s with the Sutter Gate subdivision. The homes at the entrance of Sutter Gate Avenue off Santa Rita actually belong to an entirely different subdivision altogether (neither Amberwood nor Sutter Gate).
Amberwood featured three model homes, one two-story and two one-stories. The models are indicated with an "M" in the map. The two-story model (the green lots) was the most popular, some with 3-car garages, a rarity in 1976.
This ad was pulled from the Fremont Argus newspaper, dated Sunday February 19, 1978.
Enjoy!
