Size by the way your yard faces
As anywhere in Perris, orientation decides the cover. West-facing yards get the hottest, lowest afternoon sun and need the deepest cover, often with a side screen. South-facing yards suit a full-depth solid or insulated cover. East and north yards can often use a smaller cover or lattice.
Shade for a MultiGEN suite
If your home is D.R. Horton's MultiGEN plan, the private suite has its own entrance. A small cover or awning over that door makes it far more usable in summer, and it can often be built in the same job and permit as the main patio cover.
No HOA, but a permit
Willowbend has no HOA according to D.R. Horton's listing, so there's usually no architectural review to wait on. Check your closing documents to be sure, and keep in mind that Patio covers are structures, so they still need a City of Perris building permit with engineering. Our permits guide explains the process.
Common questions

D.R. Horton lists Willowbend as having no HOA, so usually not. You still need a City of Perris building permit.
Can I add fans and lights?
Yes. Plan the electrical before installation. It needs its own permit and a licensed electrician or a contractor licensed for the work.
