What Is Stone Canyon Preserve in Claremont?

 

Stone Canyon Preserve — referred to locally as simply Stone Canyon — is a planned residential community in the Padua Hills area of northeast Claremont, California. Developed by Centex Homes beginning in 2005, with construction completing around 2008, the community sits at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains and shares its northern boundary with the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park.
 
Homes in Stone Canyon Preserve range from approximately 4,121 to 6,077 square feet, with Mediterranean and Tuscan architectural character: tile roofs, stone detailing, private courtyards, and outdoor living spaces designed for the foothill setting. The community is accessed via Padua Avenue and includes the following streets: Appalachian Drive, St. Cloud Drive, Rocky Mountain Drive, Treasure Valley Drive, Amundsen Branch, Cardinal Cushing Drive, Hiwassee Drive, Fergus Falls Drive, Loop Branch, Nashotah Drive, Toccoa Falls Drive, Mohawk Drive, and Bowie Drive.

Stone Canyon Preserve Real Estate: Market Data and Pricing

Stone Canyon Preserve entered the resale market around 2005 as Centex released homes during construction. Early sales in the low-to-mid $600,000s reflected new-construction pricing during the project's initial phase. By the time the community was complete, resale prices had climbed well past $1 million, and the market has appreciated steadily since.
 
Since 2021, the median closed sale price in Stone Canyon has been $1,810,000. The average closed sale over the same period has been $1,943,180. Prices in this range reflect the community's custom finishes, generous lot sizes, direct wilderness park adjacency, and the scarcity of comparable properties anywhere in the San Gabriel Valley foothill corridor.
The price range since 2021 runs from $1,499,900 on the entry end to $2,510,000 at the top — the latter set at 4503 Bowie Drive in December 2024, which stands as the all-time recorded high for the community. Active listings typically present between $1.8 million and $2.5 million depending on lot position, square footage, view orientation, and condition.
Transaction volume is low on an annualized basis, which is consistent with custom-home markets where turnover is limited. Pricing accuracy matters more in low-inventory communities because comparable sales are few and outliers carry more weight. Mispricing in either direction is consequential.

Laura Dandoy's Stone Canyon Preserve Transaction Record

Among all agents who have represented buyers and sellers in Stone Canyon Preserve's resale market, Laura Dandoy has more listing-side transactions than any other agent in the community's recorded history. One agent holds a higher all-time transaction count — the agent the development company retained to close out the tract during original construction. That was a contractual role serving the builder, not independent buyers and sellers. It is a fundamentally different relationship with a fundamentally different client. In the resale market — the market that matters to every current homeowner in Stone Canyon — Laura's record stands alone.

 

Her Stone Canyon activity spans more than a decade, with 7 listing-side transactions, 4 buyer-side transactions, and 3 double-ended closings where she represented both parties. Her combined transaction volume in the community exceeds $11 million. Her highest individual Stone Canyon transaction was $1,930,000 at 4438 Rocky Mountain Drive in June 2016, a double-ended closing in which she represented both the seller and the buyer.

 

Her most recent Stone Canyon transaction closed at 983 Appalachian Drive in June 2021 at $1,675,000 — also a double-ended closing. She continues to represent buyers and sellers in the community and maintains active relationships within the northeast Claremont estate market.

The Claremont Hills Wilderness Park Adjacency

Stone Canyon Preserve shares its northern boundary with the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park, a 2,500-acre open space preserve that connects to the broader San Gabriel Mountains trail network. Multiple trailheads are accessible on foot directly from streets within the community. For properties in Stone Canyon with a favorable orientation toward the preserve, the views are protected in perpetuity — the preserve is not developable land, and that buffer will not change.
 
Preserve adjacency is a durable value driver in northeast Claremont. It cannot be replicated elsewhere in the Foothill corridor. Properties in Stone Canyon that back to or overlook the wilderness park consistently command a premium, and that relationship between open space access and price has held across multiple market cycles.
