Has Stonebridge reached it’s bottom yet? I am trying to understand why it’s avg $ per Sq. Ft. price is much below older Scripps Ranch especially Scripps Highlands area. Compared to 4S Ranch, I like it’s proximity to Sorrento Valley where I work. Access to areas like Poway and Mira Mesa makes it convenient for shopping (Costco, Kohls, Home Depot etc) and entertainment/dining. Backyards are also much bigger than most of the houses in 4S. 4S has a community feel though and schools are closer as compared to Stonebridge.[/quote]
I’m not so sure this is a true bargain.
it has a sloped yard with people looking right down at you.
that’s a $50k reduction for me right there.
the back yard improvements consist of a single slab of concrete and not much else. so there’s a lot of work to be done.
this Miramar Ranch North Scripps Ranch home is a little older and $100k more, but it has a nice pool/spa with a slide and very well kept. it does have a slope but everything is well covered up so you don’t get that “looked down” feel. the difference in MR/HOA is about $500/month in the Miramar Ranch North home’s favor. that $500/month is the equivalent of the $100k extra in mortgage cost at 4.5%.
