[quote=Andrew32]We bought last month in 92011 and felt lucky to have had the opportunity to buy new construction and not battle other people for a resale (which we were eyeing but saw nothing we liked much, regardless of price).
We feel good about our purchase and while there was some compromise on the lot size, the house meets our needs long term and has an attached guest suite with a full kitchen and separate address we will use right away for our nanny, then in-laws, then potentially income-generating.
We agree with your assessment of the area and our goal right now is to keep the home as a dual rental property if we ever choose to buy another primary home.[/quote]
Welcome to the neighborhood and obviously only one place this could be. I think you will do fine. Only new construction for an SFR in the zip that was left unless someone gets their hands on the big ranch property by the lagoon but I think the city has their eyes on it. Pricing seemed very fair especially for a new home in that ZIP. I think you’ll do well there over the long term. See ya round!
