[quote=sdrealtor]Isnt Eastern Chula Vista the home of obscene Mello Roos and HOA fees?
In the NCC prime areas, the Mello Roos are typically $400 or $800 per year and most homes have no MR. This is hardly crippling or obscene for people buying homes $700K and above. At my kids schools 2/3rd’s of the households pay $800/yr while the other 1/3rd does not pay MR. Comparable homes in Eastern Chula Vista have MR of $2,000 to $4,000 per year.
The one notable exception is Encinitas Ranch which is not where the school district buyers flock because it feeds into the lowest performing school in the area. The draw of Encinitas Ranch is a pristine golf course/ocean view community close to the freeway and beaches in a great own. there isnt another community like it in all of SD County. (disclaimer-I am not a fan of Encinitas Ranch)

I get where all the WTF vitriol came from now, lol. The highlighted portion of this post was not there when I replied to the first sentence of it a few hours ago. I only replied to the first sentence which was the entire post at that time. This is the first time I’ve seen the rest of the post.
sdr, I was not referring to “NCC” in any of my posts on this thread. I was referring to North County and primarily those communities located within the PUSD attendance areas.
I understand that MR is virtually non-existent west of I-5 and low or minimal in communities directly east of I-5.
In some cases, the annual HOA dues (pd once yr) for SFR tracts is worth it. It keeps all the roofs of the same quality, keeps the homes painted only approved colors and keeps recreational and broken down vehicles from being “stored” in the front of homes, etc. This uniform “look” to the area helps ALL homeowners values stabilize.
