The Colonies of San Antonio is a master-planned community in central-north Upland that has been one of the city's most sought-after addresses since it was developed in the 1990s. The community was built by Kaufman & Broad (now KB Home) and features a cohesive architectural style, generous floor plans, and well-maintained common areas.
What makes The Colonies particularly attractive is the combination of larger homes (typically 2,400–3,200 square feet) with no Mello-Roos taxes and relatively low HOA fees. In an area where newer master-planned communities often come with significant Mello-Roos assessments, this is a meaningful financial advantage for homeowners.
The neighborhood is organized around tree-lined streets with community parks, walking paths, and a strong sense of neighborhood identity. Homes feature Kaufman & Broad's signature floor plans with formal living and dining rooms, family rooms, and spacious kitchens — layouts that remain popular with today's buyers.
The Colonies sits in a convenient location with easy access to the 210 freeway, the Colonies Crossroads shopping center, and downtown Upland. Schools are served by the Upland Unified School District.
The no Mello-Roos advantage is a significant selling point — buyers comparing The Colonies to newer communities with $3,000–$5,000+ annual Mello-Roos assessments see immediate ongoing savings. The larger floor plans (2,400–3,200 sq ft) offer more space than similarly priced homes in newer developments. For sellers, The Colonies' established reputation and the Mello-Roos advantage create a built-in marketing story that resonates with savvy buyers.
