No, I haven’t been there, AN. I’m thinking of the typical 1/2 AC lot in Bonita which puts most of the tract houses 35-50 ft apart. If these lots are 1 AC, how wide are they?? How much of the lot is slope and how much is usable? In Bonita, a typical 1/2 AC lot would be 66% to 100% usable, depending on the tract (avg. of 75% usable).
12-16 feet apart sounds like houses on 7500 – 10,000 sf lots in my (dtn. Chula) neighborhood.[/quote]
I didn’t bust out the tape measure, so I don’t know exactly, but it looks like 12-16 feet between houses. Maybe 20′? I assume the 1 acre lot in Sky Ranch probably have usable space of 1/4-1/2 acre. These house are wide, so you can’t really compare with many tract homes. Like I said before, the spacing and house foot print feels like Stonebridge, but a little narrower. It’s roughly 25-50% wider than your typical tract house. That’s why the lot is big, yet there’s not an abundant yard space. The lot is big enough to fit a 3500 sq-ft single story yet still have plenty of back yard and side sitting area (back yard is probably 15-20′ deep?).
Since you’re familiar w/ Bonita, here’s a good frame of reference: http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-100012274-1529_Country_Vistas_Ln_Bonita_CA_91902. The house is probably as wide as this one, but the back yard is probably 1/2 as deep. If you look at houses in this Bonita development, I think it’s probably similar to the house size and lot size and spacing of Sky Ranch.
