Azure in San Elijo Hills – Opinions?

[propertysearchaddiction]

We moved from La Jolla to SHE and have been renting for almost a year. We had similar reasons for moving(kids,yard) and similar concerns. That is why we decided to rent. The commute is not that big of a deal. Friday’s are usually bad but the square footage, yard, neighbors, and community outweigh the extra commute time. I can personally say our quality of life truly has improved.

I have friends that live in Azure and many have already walked. There will be more in the next year. However several people sold existing homes and put the $400,000 equity into their Azure home and are staying put. Not everyone is hosed.

About the car stereotype(for what it’s worth)…most of the people that I know personally who walked are the ones that had H2’s and Escalades.

The builder was Shea homes. They are building a community in Carlsbad that is beautiful. They seem to do good work and I haven’t heard of anyone having major problems.

I think your hesitation is right on. I think 6 months to 1 year you can get the same home for $25-$45 less per square foot. That is just my opinion having watched SEH for two years. Or just low ball. I would NOT spend $200 per square foot here because we are still declining.

One on Milan went for 180 a sq ft and another on genoa 170 a sq ft in the last month or so. That 25-45 dollar drop could happen quickly if a ton of inventory dumps on the market in 2009. 25 dollars off that 170 watermark – puts the smallest floor plan under 500K. I dont think that happens this year but why not be optimistic.

Im eyeing a commute from SEH to the 56/5 interchange (not as bad as a commute to LJ and have el camino as an alternate).

[quote=ocrenter]commute to La Jolla? you are kidding, right?

I live in SEH and commute to Carlsbad…10 minutes.

I had a training class for a week in La Jolla…40 minutes.

Really not that big of a deal to me.

40 minutes each way is ok once a week. but daily?

and I got to assume that’s non-traffic time.

4000 sqft for $200/sqft, that means $800k. easily doable in 4S or Stonebridge in Scripps, much better schools and closer to the city. 30 minutes on the commute as well, and you are not dependent on the slow go of the I5 most of the way.

is there another reason for picking SEH above the rest?
