Community Announcements
Beautiful location, outstanding recreation
Nestled against a backdrop of scenic rolling foothills, Solera Kern Canyon by Del Webb lies at the gateway of California’s famed Sierra Nevada range. Life in this community for active adults age 55 and better combines small-town charm with some of the best outdoor recreation in the state.
A friendly, close-knit vitality is present throughout this thoughtfully planned community where new neighbors who share your interests become fast friends. The Grove Clubhouse is the heart of the community, a convenient gathering place for enjoying swimming, fitness, tennis and bocce, as well as countless clubs to pursue hobbies, crafts, and special interest classes or charitable projects. Just across the street is private Rio Bravo Country Club, which offers both social and golf memberships.
Located near the community is the Kern River, a major attraction for fishing, boating and water recreation enthusiasts. Then again, you might prefer to simply want to idle away an afternoon watching the action, taking photographs or painting a gorgeous landscape.
