Disclaimer: We wound up buying a 2955 sq ft at Hawthorne… smaller than we would have liked, but 300-400k less on a lot that looks right down the canyon and isn’t anywhere near power lines. Not really the same market as Marston/Lakes, but it made a lot more sense for us.[/quote]
Anonlawyer,
That is pretty much the conclusion I came up with. Hawthorne is the perfect price point for the area and the design reminds me of Marston. I do agree that right now there is no concern about kids getting into the Del Sur schools or even the new D39.
Perhaps, I am just factoring too much in but with a newborn and most likely soon to be second our kids won’t start school for another 5-6 years. Therefore the advantage of Del Sur residents having priority or a higher allocated spot may be moot. My concern is that by that time, the Del Sur area will be built out plus all the townhomes/condos that are plan means that even with the higher allocated seats the competition or the ratio of seats/kids would be just as much percentage wise as say the Lakes. But at least there even with the lower number of seats if you take that into account the few kids vying for them made me come to the conclusion that we might have the same “chances” come 5-6years when our kids enter the school system.
