“It seems all builders are going for these days are 5/4 3500sqft mcmansions.”
It doesn’t cost a lot more to add that extra 1000sf, so they do it everywhere.
That is one reason I prefer older areas of San Diego, it feels a little claustrophobic in the new areas that are basically suburban, but every single house is built to the absolute max SF and lot coverage.
So with that bias, if you want something newer and without any additions, the old suburbs like La Mesa, San Carlos, and Tierrasanta.
The remodel on this one looks very well done. The outside says Brady Bunch, the inside is modern and cozy, though the staging furniture looks kind of ugly and uncomfortable. I wouldn’t want to sit on a single one of those chairs.
