What I want is an estate feel with an updated feeling. I don’t believe there is Mello-roos on this one, and even if it is gated, the HOA is $67 per month. Wow! I am changing my year requirement. It is not necessary to be after 2000, as long as it is clean and doesn’t look and smell like an old house. This one is in Bridlewood Poway. Anyone know about this community? I heard Green Valley, Gatewood Hills, Lomas Verdes are good too. How do you feel about these communities? Of course, if there are comparable properties in coastal area within this price range, I would rather to stay closer to the beach. Any suggestions? Thanks.[/quote]
wanttobuy, are you situated in the southwest part of the country, or in GA? To me, this listing depicting your “dream” home here with its stone facade is reminiscent of those locales. It appears to have sold for a little above your price range. This property appears to be in one of the small (custom?) subdivisions that I previously mentioned where the plat map was obviously in process before the first CFDs were formed in SD County, thus it escaped MR.
Are you aware that Poway and its eastern surrounds is 10-15 degrees warmer (and colder) than the coastal areas, depending on season?
Not sure about the other areas of Poway you mentioned, but I believe some of “Green Valley Estates” has Mello-Roos.
