[quote=kcal09]Why not take a look at Santee? Commute is short. Lennar is selling new homes at Skyranch, there is a single story home at “Eaglecrest” in the $700k price range. Also, shopping in Santee is convenient.[/quote]
Good idea, kcal09! I did not know Skyranch had any one-story models. The schools in Santee are excellent, also. I think the $700K price you are mentioning for Sky Ranch may be a little less than it would cost the OP to buy a house with similar square-footage in 92019. However, in MOST areas in 92019 I mentioned, he could avoid MR and HOA dues. In ALL areas I mentioned in 91941 (east), he could avoid MR (HOA in one area).
edit: just looked at lennar.com. It is Eaglepointe in Sky Ranch that has 3 one-story models (avail for immed occupancy). All appear to be beautifully appointed for the $$.
Res #1 3568 sf 4/3.5 asking $625K
Res #2X 4168 sf 5/4.5 asking $660K
Res #3 4620 sf 5/4.5 asking $685K
WOW, that’s a lot of bang for the buck (if you need a large family home)! And no, Piggs, I’ve never lived in East County and don’t know anyone at the Skyranch sales offices :=]
If I can recall reading correctly on this lo-o-o-o-ng thread:
. . . the HOA dues were pretty high at Sky Ranch and “apparently,” it has no Mello Roos (don’t quote me on this). But these one-story models seem very well-priced, IMO.
bdc0, if you are interested in new construction, please check out the infamous Piggington “Sky Ranch” thread, above. This development is even MORE conveniently located for your needs than the two zips I previously mentioned here.
