I went to 4s and Del Sur today and looked at neighborhoods between $650k and 800k. Most of the houses in that range were of the long rectangular variety, often with the garages off an alley in the back. Kind of similar to Bressi, now that I think of it. The lots must have been 4000-5000sf max. The total mello roos plus tax rates ranged from 1.4-1.7 in 4s, to 1.9% in Del Sur. All in all, once you factor in options, landscaping, patios, window blinds/drapes and add on to all of it the mello roos and the HOA fees, it is all still really friggin expensive. And neither of those communities are exactly located steps to the sand. Actually, it was pretty windswept out there today, it reminded me of High Plains Drifter with Clint E.
On the plus side, the schools looked nice and new…
