I’m curious what you don’t like about Steeplechase (and maybe the OP could learn something from our conversation). We rented a Steeplechase for 5 years and we really liked it. Some of their floor plans are a bit funky, but we liked the one we had (I think it was a plan 3 with a loft – it was 2520 sf). The location was good. There’s a canyon lot Steeplechase available now (2259 sf) for 899k. That’s about as cheap as you’re going to get a SFH on the canyon in CV.
I have mixed feelings about Palacio. We lived there about a year. It’s a bit chilly down there in the bottom of the valley, and the house we were in didn’t have great insulation and it had slate floors. So it was cold a lot. It had a real feeling of community, though. And the pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, and golf course were great. Not everybody is going to find it worth the $300/mo. But some will.
