We at Shorestone Homes maintain the same quality in all the homes we build, whether you are looking for a 2 bedroom main level living rancher style home or a large custom family home. We take pride in our homes and would love to show you just what we mean. Come and visit our show homes in Village Heights at The Ponds in Upper Mission. We are open 12 – 5pm everyday of the week…turn left off Gordon Drive onto Frost and follow the signs! See you soon!

The Monterey comes from the Spanish words monte and rey, meaning “King’s mountain,” in honor of Gaspar de Zuniga y Acevedo, Conde de Monterrey, the Viceroy of New Spain. The initial origin of the name Madison is from the English language and it means’ ‘Maud’s son’. The name Hampton may come from the Anglo-Saxon words hamm meaning an enclosure in the bend of a river and ton meaning farmstead or settlement.
So now you know the origins of the names of our three show homes, why not come up to Village Heights at the Ponds and take a tour! We are open everyday 12 – 5pm!
