About Rusty Creek
Rusty Creek features a mix of four-sided brick and four-sided siding homes by Ryland (now CalAtlantic) — one of the first and most-established builders in The Palisades. A rare neighborhood offering both ranch-style plans and up to 3-story-plus-basement homes, Rusty Creek has one of the widest size ranges in the community: 2,294 to 6,678 square feet.
Note: Ryland and Standard Pacific merged to become CalAtlantic Homes. The combined entity brought over 100 years of homebuilding experience. Homes offer 4–5 bedrooms, 3–4.5 baths, and 2–3 car garages. The breadth of plans makes Rusty Creek suitable for buyers at multiple life stages and budgets within The Palisades.
