There ARE Mello Roos taxes over here but quite honestly even with them we felt it was well worth it. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. At that $1.2 million or so range, I just feel it’s GREAT value for the money compared to many other areas.[/quote]
Nazzy,
I can’t speak to much about Santa Luz besides the weather. The weather there is really hard to beat. Less marine layer than the coast and not as hot as Scripps Ranch. Although Scripps Ranch really isn’t that hot.
earlyretirement,
We looked in Santa Luz, and we liked it. But we thought that the HOA fees were out of line with what you got for them. Quite possibly we overlooked something. Can you shed some light on what that $440/mo gets you? Or where it goes? Thanks.[/quote]
what’s not to like about santaluz? except for the $1k HOA/MR monthly. but of course, that does keep the riff-raff out :).
my colleagues who have been long time residents of Scripps Ranch would never consider themselves “inland,” they actually think they are coastal. They do have a point, as most of SR is above 600 feet in elevation with the coastal breeze coming through completely unobstructed. Stonebridge is more “inland” but then it gets to 1000 feet in elevation, so the “coastal feel” continues. Don’t get fooled by the “east of I-15” location of SR/SB, the elevation makes up for it.
