Shea builds very nice homes and they tend to come up with floorplans different than all the others who seem to copy each other. Some nice views up there also.
Viridian is built by Davidson who builds even nicer homes (probably the ebst tract builder in SD county) but my worry would be their survival (as a smaller, higer end regional tract builder). Air traffic is a big negative in my mind there. The Alga Norte Park was supposed to be a water park but got scaled down. If built as promised it would be an awesome asset to the City of Carlsbad but I dont know if I’d want to live next to it.
