[quote=Navydoc][quote=ocrenter]Uh, this house and toll brothers homes are in completely different leagues. It is like comparing Ivy Gates homes to Maybeck or Sivercrest in 4S.[/quote]
Boy you aint kidding. We toured the available new stuff in Stonebridge, i.e. Montoro and Serenity, but when we saw the Toll models there was no comparison. So last November we put a deposit on a phase 2 lot, and they’re trenching it now.
My feelings are thus: as any regular here knows, I’ve been wathing this market for 6 years now. Any resale I buy I’m going to have to modify extensively to get what I want, and then I’ll stress about how bad a deal I got. Buying new takes all that anxiety out of the decision. I trust the Toll quality of construction, and I believe they’re building the best houses in Stonebridge. The community looks nice too, since they have phase 1 almost ready for stucco, there are no 2 houses that are the same. You certainly can’t say that about Montoro. As for commute, 4S and Stonebridge tested out about the same, and I’ll probably ride my bike down to Mira Mesa Blvd and catch a bus to Balboa, which works well for me.
Really can’t wait to move back to SD. Anybody want a nice house in Gaithersburg MD?[/quote]
navydoc, congrats on the move back to SD and getting in with Toll Bros.
the reason for Stonebridge is the estate like homes and the large yard yet at very decent prices. The only other place with this type of inventory of new homes on large yards in a good school district would be at Black Mountain Ranch, but then the MR and HOA are kicked up another notch.
seriouisly, if you want starwood type homes (aka Astoria at the beginning of Stonebridge and Pomerado), you are better off finding something in Scripps Ranch proper or 4S, unless you can get them for cheap.
