Agreed that HGV is just a too much of a hike given our current work commutes.
We appreciate the insights and advice. It looked as if it would be 1 hour+ for each of us..
As of now, HGV is out. We also disliked the fact that the development is in what seems to be a a wildfire hotspot? Not much to do in the surrounding area. And that the schools are average to sub-par. We also disliked the obvious climate differences, moving from semi-coastal to inland and HOT would be a difficult adjustment.
If only there was newer construction right where we are now, priced at 800k 😉
We took a look at the Weston in Santee as well. Pardee & Tri-point homes. Again very nice, lots of amenities we would enjoy. Priced right around $700K for a 4/3 2600sqft (+20k for required solar). The commute to work doesn’t seem all that bad, 20 mins and 33 mins. But going back home looks to be 45mins and 45 mins (unless we can negotiate some creative work hours + 1 day working at home – very possible). Again same issues as HGV, high hoa, mello-roos, much hotter climate etc. But we’d get the style of home that we are looking for, modern/open/spanish style.
