Thanks everyone for your comments. I will get a first hand look at the Crosby and the Bridges this weekend and will report back my take from that limited experience.
Alex, I know you get a lot of grief on this board over your edgy style and even I have seen the sharp edge of your sword before. But I for one appreicate your candor on this board and don’t mind you calling me clueless from time to time.
In terms of range of homes, I do agree that there is a broader range in Santaluz than other places I have seen. In FBR for example, you would be hard pressed to find a fixer upper under $2M (an can spend $20M+). In Cielo, it is mostly semi custom and custom homes of $2M+ as well (and can spend $10M+). But the tract home areas of Santaluz seem pretty nice from what I have seen so I don’t mind it. If you buy a $3-$5M home in Santaluz, chances are all the homes on your street will be in that price range and quality/size etc.
Like I said before, so far there are things about each area I like and I would not mind living in any one of them, quite frankly. Which I pick will have more to do with the home, its quality, value, pricing, and what my wife says. I do agree that some areas will probably do better than others in the long run, but that is not the foremost criteria for my decision. It is but one of many elements.
