The Nova: A Lookbook for Your Next Chapter | Danville

Some places announce themselves quietly. The Nova is one of them. Rising from the foothills of Mt. Diablo, its clean architectural lines — designed by award-winning FORM4 Architecture — strike a balance between modern sophistication and the warmth of a true neighborhood. Step out the front door and you’re in the middle of downtown Danville, where tree-lined streets, boutiques, and cafes are a short walk away. This is luxury that feels effortless, and a home that feels like it has always belonged here.

Inside, every detail has been considered. Interiors by LKM layer warm white oak floors, abundant natural light, and finishes that feel both elegant and inviting. Kitchens are anchored by custom cabinetry, engineered quartz, and Miele appliances — as beautiful as they are functional. Spa-inspired bathrooms bring a sense of calm to everyday rituals. With one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts spanning 898 to 1,917 square feet, and residences priced from the $1 millions, there’s a home here for the way you actually want to live. Explore the floor plans to find yours.

Beyond your front door, The Nova opens into a collection of shared spaces designed for connection. An elevated indoor-outdoor amenity bridge links a fitness studio, a rooftop terrace, and a sophisticated bar and lounge. A classic library and game room — warmed by a double-sided limestone fireplace — invites quieter afternoons and easy conversation. Discover the full range of amenities that turn an address into a community.

Few addresses offer this much within reach. Set in the center of Danville, The Nova places shops, dining, and trails at your doorstep, with the Iron Horse Regional Trail and Mt. Diablo State Park nearby for morning walks and weekend hikes. When you’re ready to roam, Livermore wine country is about 30 minutes away, San Francisco just 30 miles west, and Napa and Sonoma within easy reach. Home base has never been better positioned.

The Nova is a lock and leave community, which means your time is truly your own. Home maintenance and exterior upkeep are handled, so you can travel for a season, take up something new, or simply savor a slow Sunday. This is independent, active adult living designed to add to your life — not manage it. Lock the door, and go live.

Built by Lafayette’s Diamond Construction — a second-generation builder with more than 35 years and 500-plus projects behind it — The Nova is made to last. With only 50 residences, it stays intentionally intimate, the kind of place where neighbors become friends. And relocation services, from trusted moving and lending partners to design support, make the move as graceful as the life that follows. For an age-qualified 55+ buyer seeking the rare combination of luxury, location, and ease, few places compare.

The Nova was created to celebrate the prime years of life — and homes are selling now. Contact The Nova sales team to schedule a private tour, walk the residences in person, and imagine the life waiting for you in the heart of Danville.
