A new story is being written in California’s Coachella Valley and we’re on the ground to give you an inside look.
Today, we’re launching The Blueprint – the new “home” for all-things relating to Cotino community construction. Creating the first Storyliving by Disney community from scratch takes time, planning and of course, a little bit of magic!
From pouring the foundation on the first homes to planting cacti at the community parks, we’re sharing behind-the-scenes moments along the way as the community comes to life in scenic Rancho Mirage.
The beauty of the desert is calling! Picturing life here in the colorful Coachella Valley is easier than ever before thanks to all-new home designs for Cotino, the first Storyliving by Disney community.
Specially designed for future Cotino community residents and built by award-winning homebuilders, these home designs celebrate outdoor living by bringing the rejuvenating spirit of the desert into everyday life. Some homes will feature flexible floor plans with great rooms and large kitchens that will open to covered outdoor spaces providing breathtaking blue sky and mountain views. Distinctive home features like cozy terraces and enchanting entry courtyards will encourage indoor-outdoor living on certain floorplans.
Did you know Walt Disney Imagineering provided creative insight on the community’s unique home designs? Disney Imagineers were inspired by the rich history and landscape of the area from the beauty and agricultural origins of the Coachella Valley to the region’s famed mid-century modern architecture and more contemporary styles. They shared their creative inspiration with Cotino community developer DMB Development and architectural design firms who contributed to the home designs that are currently being brought to life by talented homebuilders.
We previously shared a first look at designs from Shea Homes last fall. Today, we’re excited to share all-new designs from California-based homebuilders Woodbridge Pacific Group and Davidson Communities.
The first release of homes from Woodbridge Pacific Group will include five different one-story floor plans that future residents can personalize with finishes and fixtures. Home sweet home, indeed!

Woodbridge Pacific Group and Davidson Communities model homes are expected to begin construction this summer.
The first chapter of the Cotino community story begins at, well, the beginning! With a sneak peek at construction of the main entrance.
With the stunning San Jacinto mountains in the background, future residents will arrive home to this welcoming entryway designed to showcase the beauty of the desert. The Cotino community’s 360-degree mountain views inspired the Walt Disney Imagineering team’s creative design, which will feature a mix of natural and man-made elements bringing the spirit of the desert to life.
As with everything Disney Imagineers are involved with, there’s a great story behind the entryway design and we can’t wait to share more as the finishing details are added!
Longtable Park
Cotino community parks will be the perfect gathering spots for neighbors and their families to spend time together.
The first community park under construction is Longtable Park. The park’s unique name is inspired by Walt Disney and the experiences that originally drew him to the Coachella Valley. When Walt visited the area, he would often begin his day with some desert adventures then join his neighbors for a group breakfast and good conversation around a friendly table.
Cotino community residents can keep that same friendly spirit alive while spending time at Longtable Park. Beyond the signature, long table surrounded by beautiful palo verde and olive trees, this park will feature shaded lawn seating, barbecue grills, firepits, two bocce ball courts, bird baths and more.
This beautiful park will be available just for those who live in Longtable Park residences for adults 55+.
Model Homes
From sunset dinners on the patio to morning coffee with neighbors – it’s easier than ever to imagine living here! The first model homes are now under construction.
Built by Shea Homes, these model homes will give future residents a glimpse of the Cotino community lifestyle as they explore three different options. Some home designs will feature flex and loft spaces while also encouraging indoor-outdoor living with entry courtyards and covered terraces designed to immerse future residents in the beauty of the region.
There are so many different elevations and floorplans to choose from and even more options coming soon from additional homebuilders.
The Cotino community story is just beginning! We’re working closely with DMB Development and award-winning homebuilders to bring the first Storyliving by Disney community to life. Stay tuned for more details.
