could these fieldstone homes be the canaries as far as San Marcos is concerned?

Maybe but I wouldn’t be ready to bet on it yet. IMO, the Fieldstone development is the worst of the recent projects in San Marcos.

The location is terrible. It sits above the barrios in the unincorporated part of east Vista. From what I’ve seen, there’s only one way in and out so you must drive through the eyesore of aging tilt-ups, industrial storage and run-down apartments every day.

Believe me, we’ve seen almost every newer housing project in San Marcos and I couldn’t convince my wife to even get in the car for this one.
