Robson communities in our area
The first four are in city or state records. The rest come from Robson Homes’ own portfolio, with the year the company lists.
| community | city | year | homes | notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parklane | Campbell | approved 2024 | 25 + 10 apts | Gilman and Dillon avenues. Fee-simple townhomes, 12 with junior ADUs, plus a 10-unit apartment building. All-electric with owned solar, per the company. Now selling. |

New-home sales the builder handled directly may not appear in the MLS. Sales come from the MLS records available to us and include every sold listing whose description names the builder, so a few homes may be labeled by the listing agent rather than confirmed from tract records. Sold data is shown with the listing brokerage. Price per square foot uses the living area in the listing. Ask us for a full comparable-sales report on any address.
