At MonteVista Homes, we’re proud to offer thoughtfully designed homes across Oregon — from McClannahan Summit and Upland Meadows in NE Oregon to Feather Ridge and Willowbrook in Central OR.
Each home is carefully crafted to reflect quality, comfort, and lasting value.
If you’ve been exploring our floorplans, you’ve probably noticed two product series:
Premier and Distinct.
Both share the same foundation of craftsmanship and design — but Distinct takes it a step further with enhanced architectural details, finishes, and included features.
This quick guide breaks down what’s included in each series so you can make an informed choice when selecting your new home.
Understanding the Difference
Every MonteVista home includes a high standard of quality — including quartz countertops, garage door openers, and fireplaces that are automatically included in select communities.
The difference between Premier and Distinct lies in the level of finish and included features, not in the structural integrity or overall layout of the home.
In communities like McClannahan Summit, a buyer choosing to upgrade from a Premier plan (for example, the Charity T) to a Distinct elevation (like Charity X) will gain both the community-standard features and the additional Distinct Series upgrades outlined below.
Feature Comparison: Premier vs. Distinct
Note: Certain features, such as quartz countertops, fireplaces, and garage door openers, are community-specific and automatically included across both series.
Choosing the Right Fit
- Premier Series homes offer a streamlined collection of thoughtfully designed layouts with the same MonteVista quality and craftsmanship — perfect for buyers who want timeless design and value without additional elevation upgrades.
- Distinct Series homes (X, Y, and Z elevations) come with enhanced architectural details and finishes built in — like 9’ ceilings, taller doors, freestanding tubs, and upgraded front doors — delivering a more elevated and design-forward experience right from the start.
No matter which you choose, every MonteVista home reflects our commitment to lasting quality, efficient design, and attention to detail.
