“but I think Del Sur, for the money, is a much more prestigious address than 4S Ranch. ”
Do you think, Del sur, is worth for the money you spend? Why do you think, Del sur is prestigious address?
As per my view, 4S ranch is more convenient than Del Sur. As per present scenario, development in Del Sur will be stopped for several years(6 to 8 years). Most of the builders will go bankrupt. Older homes are definitely good. But they are as expensive as brand new homes and some times more expensive. You may need to spend lot of money on maintenance. Particularly, insulation is pretty bad in older homes.You may need to spent 30 to 50% more on energy for heating and cooling.
