I actually went. They had both samples open, even though they’re both untaped drywall, and you couldn’t go upstairs in the San Clemente model. The first phase is still wide open, and you can put any house on any lot. They are going to have about 70 homes in there when all are finished. I was tempted to put down a deposit, but I really have to wait until I have orders. Besides, some of the later phases look to have nicer lots, but it doesn’t appear that really any of them will be bad.

I liked the Toll Brothers elevations a lot more than the other builders that are still available in Stonebridge, namely Serenity and Montoro. We liked the Serenity homes, hated the lots, and we loved the Montoro lots but the houses are kind of meh. I actually think we’re going to go Toll Brothers. I’ve even done a few test commutes, and at the hours I have to do it in, the drive to Scripps hasn’t been bad.

Well, back to Maryland tomorrow. Now I just have to survive another year there…..
