Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special Arizona corporate counsel to the entities listed on Schedule A (collectively, the “Maracay Entities” as “Arizona Guarantors”), direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of TRI Pointe Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”) in connection with the public offering by the Company of $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”), including the guarantees thereof (the “Guarantees”), set forth in the Indenture (as defined below) by the subsidiaries of the Company, including the Arizona Guarantors, named therein (the “Guarantors” and each, a “Guarantor”) issued under that certain Indenture dated May 23, 2016 (the “ Base Indenture”), as supplemented and amended by the Second Supplemental Indenture dated June 8, 2017 (the “Supplemental Indentures” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Company and the Guarantors executed and filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 23, 2016, as amended by that certain prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on June 6, 2017 (the “Registration Statement”), relating to the issuance and sale by the Company and the Guarantors of the Notes and the Guarantees, as applicable. The Company and the Guarantors entered into an underwriting agreement dated June 5, 2017 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as Representative of the underwriters named in Schedule I thereof relating to the issuance and the sale by the Company and the Guarantors of the Notes and the Guarantees, as applicable.

In connection with the foregoing, we have reviewed originals or copies of (i) the Registration Statement, (ii) the Base Indenture; (iii) the Supplemental Indenture; (iv) the global certificate evidencing the Note, including the notation of guarantee (the “Note Certificate”); (v) the Underwriting Agreement; (vi) the Articles of Organization and Operating Agreements of each Arizona Guarantor; (vii) the Certificates of Good Standing for each Arizona Guarantor issued by the Arizona Corporation Commission dated March 22, 2017 and confirmed electronically on June 5, 2017 and June 7, 2017; (viii) Action by Unanimous Written Consent of the Sole Member and Manager of Maracay Homes, LLC, dated June 2, 2017; (ix) Action by Joint Unanimous Written Consent of the Sole Member and Manager of Maracay 91, LLC; Maracay Bridges, LLC; Maracay VR, LLC and Maracay Thunderbird, LLC, dated June 2, 2017 (collectively with viii, the “Resolutions”); and (x) the Secretary’s Certificate, dated as of June 8, 2017 and have made no other investigation or inquiry except as set forth herein. As used herein,

“Opinion Agreements” means the Note Certificate, the Base Indenture, the Underwriting Agreement and the Supplemental Indenture. The Articles of Organization and Operating Agreements, and amendments thereto are referred to herein as the “Organizational Documents”. Documents (i) through (v) are collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.”

We also have made such investigations of law and examined originals or copies of such other documents and records as we have deemed necessary and relevant as a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. With your approval we have relied as to certain matters on information and certificates obtained from public officials, officers of the Arizona Guarantors and other sources believed by us to be responsible. We have also relied on representations and statements of fact made in the Indenture and the Underwriting Agreement. We are not generally familiar with the business and operations of the Company and the Arizona Guarantors and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of any fact should be drawn from our representation of the Company or the Arizona Guarantors or the rendering of the opinions set forth below.

Based upon the foregoing and upon such other investigation as we have deemed necessary and subject to the qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

1.        Based upon the Certificates, Resolutions and Certificates of Good Standing for each Arizona Guarantor and issued by the Arizona Corporation Commission, each of the Arizona Guarantors has been duly organized and is in good standing under the laws of the State of Arizona.

2.        Based upon the Resolutions, each of the Opinion Agreements has been duly authorized, executed, issued and delivered by the Arizona Guarantor and each Arizona Guarantor has the power and authority to perform its obligations under the Opinion Agreements to which such Arizona Guarantor is a party.

For the purposes of this opinion letter, we have assumed that, with respect to the issuance, sale and delivery of the Notes and Guarantees: (i) the Registration Statement is effective and complies with all applicable laws, (ii) the Notes and Guarantees were issued and sold in the manner stated in the Registration Statement and the Underwriting Agreement, (iii) the Opinion Agreements and the Underwriting Agreement are valid instruments, enforceable against the parties thereto in accordance with their terms and applicable laws, and (iv) the performance, execution and delivery by the Arizona Guarantors of the Indenture and the Issuance of the Guarantees by the Arizona Guarantors does not (A) result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon any Arizona Guarantor, of (B) require any authorizations, approvals, actions, notices or filings (other than which shall have been obtained or made, as the case may be, and which shall be in full force and effect).

The opinions expressed herein are limited to the laws of the State of Arizona, and we express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction (including the federal laws of the

United States of America), or the local laws, ordinances or rules of any municipality, county or political subdivision of the State of Arizona, or the effect any such laws may have on the matters set forth herein, nor do we express any opinion as to the validity, enforceability or scope of, or limitations on, any provisions relating to rights to indemnification or contribution. No opinions are expressed herein as to matters governed by laws pertaining to the Arizona Guarantors solely because of the business activities of such entity which are not applicable to business entities generally. The opinions expressed herein are limited to the matters stated herein, and no opinions are implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated herein. We assume no obligation to revise or supplement this letter should the presently applicable laws be changed by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise.

(iii)        The execution, delivery and performance by every party, other than the Maracay Entities, to the Transaction Documents does not contravene their respective organizational documents;
