Overview
Palmer is a collection of three-story detached homes built by Shea Homes in the Village District of 3Roots.
With floorplans ranging from approximately 1,792 to 2,312 square feet, Palmer offers a more compact alternative to some of the community’s larger detached collections. Each home includes an attached two-car garage, private outdoor space, and an upper-level bonus area that can flex with the household’s needs.
The collection is situated beside Wisdom Park and is exclusive to the Village District—it was not offered in the Meadows.
Palmer’s Village District location places residents directly beside Wisdom Park and conveniently close to the Roots Collective recreation center, fitness center, and pools.
Resident Insights
- Palmer is positioned beside Wisdom Park and near the Roots Collective. Residents have convenient access to neighborhood gathering spaces, the recreation and fitness center, pools, and community events.
- Homes can offer noticeably different surroundings depending on their position. Some feel closely connected to park activity, while others have quieter street exposure or a greater sense of separation.
- Palmer’s detached homes have condominium ownership. Buyers should verify the HOA structure, insurance coverage, and maintenance responsibilities associated with the individual property.
- Palmer is now entirely a resale market. With only 72 homes in the collection, availability may be limited, and homes with the same floor plan, orientation, and upgrade package may not appear often.
Site Map & Floor Plans
Palmer includes four three-story floor plans ranging from approximately 1,792 to 2,312 square feet. All four place the kitchen and primary living areas on the ground floor, bedrooms primarily on the second floor, and flexible bonus space on the third floor. Each also includes at least 3.5 bathrooms and an attached two-car garage.
- Residences 1 through 3 were originally offered with three bedrooms, while Residence 4 includes four bedrooms.
- Residence 3 offered an optional bedroom in place of its open bonus space. Resale buyers may therefore encounter different third-floor configurations within the same floor plan.
- Residence 4 is Palmer’s largest floor plan. It includes four bedrooms, dual walk-in closets in the primary suite, third-floor bonus space, and an outdoor deck.

Builder Features & Resale Variations
Palmer’s contemporary architecture is paired with features commonly highlighted in resale listings, including open-concept interiors, modern kitchens, solar systems, tankless water heaters, and smart-home technology.
Original owners could select property-specific finishes and upgrades. Palmer resales have featured upgraded flooring, cabinetry, countertops, backsplashes, bathroom tile, appliances, built-in audio, water filtration or softening systems, EV charging, garage storage, and customized third-floor spaces.
Because finishes, builder options, solar arrangements, and later improvements vary between homes, buyers should evaluate each Palmer property individually.
