Generally, I like the feel of the south side better. Being to the model homes (Pulte’s & Calwest’s) in that part of the north side, I would say that it’s not too bad, either – very unlike the Silvercrest homes around that main street that cut across 4S Ranch Rd. I think if you like Mission Ranch then just go for it. I think market fluctuations is just noise if you’re in for the long run. One great plus thing is, outside of Ivy Gate and Santa Fe Valley, you’re not going to find homes in 4s with bigger lots.
Somewhat a thread-jack: Where does the trail to lake hodges started in 4s?
