[quote=earlyretirement][quote=ocrenter]We dropped by Marston and found the homes essentially squeezed into tiny lots on the non-powerline side, and the side with decent lot size had the powerlines. Making the whole development highly undesirable.
MR and HOA are probably about the same, but you’ll have a gated community with the Lakes. So resale wise the Lakes will likely hold up better.[/quote]
As usual, ocrenter is spot on target. I always agree with his advice and it’s not any different here.
ocrenter – I should really thank you again as you were the one that got me turned on to Santaluz which is the area we ended up buying 3 years ago and LOVING![/quote]
you are way too kind, ER!
ER brought up Santaluz. I think it is quite instructive here. I would put Santaluz, Crosby, and the Lakes within the same league. Del Sur is very nice, but it is just not in the same league of homes. So the question is should you be paying the same price for homes in a community that is considered next level down. And would future buyers be willing to pay the same premium for your Del Sur home as they would for homes within Santaluz/Crosby/the Lakes?
