Thanks so much all of you for your great comments regarding Santaluz. I was just referred by someone that lives in San Diego to this board when I told him I was considering Santaluz.
I came to the same conclusion as what many of you posted but it’s nice hearing it from people that have lived there and know the area well.
There look like there are some gorgeous homes there. The thing that concerned me is some of the houses have been sitting on the market FOREVER! Some as long as a year with the various tricks of listing, re-listing, delisting, re-listing, etc.
The HOA and Mello Roos taxes are high compared to other areas we are looking at and considering. But like some of you mentioned, if you are buying for the long haul, have young kids and plan to stay in the area a long time then this might be ideal.
I had a few questions. Someone mentioned there are lots of power lines in the area. Does anyone know specifically which part has the power lines? Or are they all over? I couldn’t see them on Google Earth.
Also, any of you live in the area and notice that property owners aren’t paying their HOA dues? There looks like a steady supply of properties on the market there and wondered about people in default or heading that way that aren’t paying their share of HOA’s?
The area looks gorgeous and the school system is great there….
