Did any of the posters ever buy in 4S Ranch? I walked through there this weekend and the one thing that I kept thinking was, how strange that on a Saturday the neighborhood feels like a ghost town. There were very few garages open, very little life and activity. I saw only 1 kid biking. It was truly strange, I felt like I might as well have been in the middle of nowhere.
In a walk through Pienza which I’d never seen before, I couldn’t want to get out of there because the houses smelled – I suspect it was the disgustingly cheap carpet installed in the model homes. Or maybe it was the fridge in one of the models where upon opening, you couldn’t help but be overwhelmed by the smell of rotting food. The houses felt cheap and poorly built. From the fixtures to the outdated glass sliding door closets.
I agree with the poster that said if you compare the John Laing homes in La Costa to the ones in 4S, the layouts are much nicer in La Costa.
