Santee has a white trash character. Most property is prop-13’ed, and the old coots aren’t moving. So the tax income is sh*tty. Thus the parks aren’t as nice, and the schools aren’t the richest.

But, the nice thing about the above Standard Pacific homes OP asks about is that the tax rate is nice and low. 1.09%; the entire infrastructure is already there.

In 3 years both the 52 extension, and the zipper lanes should be done. So the rush-hour commute won’t be as bad.

The 30 year 5.375% fixed loan they are offering ain’t bad either.
