ARROYO VISTA in Carlsbad

[dejams]

Hi All,

We have been searching for homes and basically narrowed down to two areas: 1. ARROYO VISTA in Carlsbad & Pardee Homes in CV. I know CV been discussed a lot in this forum and most are positive except for the pricing needs to down. Does anyone in this forum have any positive or negative comments about Arroyo Vista? I know the school district is San Dieguito which is better than Carlsbad & San Marcus but is it up to par with CV/Del Mar?

I am not looking to purchase yet, just want to do my homework when the price drops down another 10% or more which will be awhile especially for the desirable areas.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

One of my personal favorites. Almost moved there myself. Elementary school across the street (olivenhain Pioneer) is comparable to just about anything in CV. Diegueno Jr. is less than a 5 minute walk for kids (maybe 500 yards). La Costa Canyon HS is walkable also. Where else in SD can your kids walk to incredible schools at every level.

Great houses, great floorplans, everyone is well upgraded. homes were built before market went bonkers and most have tons of equity. Most buyers were move ups from the local area who brought lots of equity. I have many friends there with mid 6 figure incomes and very high net worths. It is the real deal with many legitimate highly paid professionals not NINJA loan wannabees. Havent seen one NOD filed there yet. IMO, it is as good as it gets for tract community in SD county. Homes are much better quality than anything comparable in CV IMO. I know this hood like the back of my hand.

Location is key in this tract as there are some very inferior lot/locations and several spectacular ones. Dont expect to pick up a bargain on one of the spectacular ones though.

Penasquitos, around “Christmas card lane” are came to my mind. All the schools K-12 in that area are top notch and are w/in short walking distance too. PPSF in that area is cheaper but I guess that the price to pay for being farther east.

The elementary school for AV is Mission Estancia not OPE. You can reqeust to get into OPE which is actually closer to AV, but it is not the default school. Both are very good.

If I asked you to put your speculators hat on what type of pricing do you think might be possible under a best case scenario on per square foot basis for a buyer in this area.

Right now it looks like 275 to 350 per square foot. I have had an eye on this area aswell but wouldn’t go exotica on a mortgage just to get in. Could you see prices in the 200 to 250 range for this area?

Your question really needs alot more detail for me to answer. If you could expalin the house you are hoping to buy, I think I could give a good guess within a reasonable range.

Looking for the low priced home in the area. Not as concerned with aesthetics. Not looking for fixer upper. I can paint but that s about the extent of my handyman abilities.

Ideally 4 bed 2-3 bath 2500 square feet. Long term buy and hold. Looking to skip the housing ladder of ratcheting up.

Is age of home important?
Lot size?
Garage (2 or 3)

FWIW, based upon what info I have so far and what you are looking for I dont think it would be unreasonable to expect to find an older home of that size with a decent lot/location in 200/sf range that needs some remodeling. In the newer tracts (1997 on), I think $250/sf will be a more realistic expectation and within reason.

It is the real deal with many legitimate highly paid professionals not NINJA loan wannabees. Havent seen one NOD filed there yet. IMO, it is as good as it gets for tract community in SD county. Homes are much better quality than anything comparable in CV IMO. I know this hood like the back of my hand.

SDRealtor,

Thanks for the info. It looks like the price needs to come down a little more before I would consider this sub. The current price is 247-327 sqft which is a wide range. I would like to see the medium range in 250 but that properly won’t happen anytime soon since most of these sellers do not have toxic mortgage. Definitely a nice area but get in and out can be a challenge during rush hour. What is the best local route commuting from 163/Balboa to this area without using the 5?
