Crosby and the Bridges

[Anonymous]

gn, raptor,

If I had to choose between the Crosby/Bridges and Santaluz, I think I would choose Santaluz just because of the setting. It is one of the few places in SoCal that does actually feel like Tuscany (and therefore appeals to my European taste).

That said, it is agreed that RSF covenant is in a class of its own. The forrested feel would take years and a staggering amount of water to duplicate anywhere else (the RSF eucalyptus were planted during the 19th century). A community like the Bridges, Crosby or even Santaluz could be setup anywhere in a relatively short time, therefore reducing the value of these communities compared to the covenant.

I like Fairbanks but would feel boxed-in living there. The north loop is also pretty fire-prone. That said, Fairbanks has the best security I have ever seen. It would almost annoy me if I lived there.

Raptor, don’t forget that the cost of updating a home, especially in your price range, represents only a fraction of its purchase price. And by paying less and updating, you avoid paying property taxes ad vitam eternam on the remodeling costs.

Rene. You are very correct. Many of the homes we are considering need work. We hesitate only because of the hastle, time, etc. to remodel.

To be honest, I tend to push the fixer uppers, while my wife wants a brand new “turn key” house.

As a former BOD in Crosby, I would offer up this. The Crosby has incredible access – be at the beach or Rancho Bernardo in 15 minutes. Bing Crosby Blvd connects Del Dios Hwy in the North to Camino Del Sur (Camino Del Norte) in the South.

The club is top noch and the golf course is one of the top private courses in the US.

There are no new subdivisions in the Crosby. One patio home developer (John Laing) is still selling some villas.

Crosby prices are doing pretty well although there has been some recent softening

Crosby has a real 92067 zip code as some of the Crosby property is in RSF – Santa Luz and Del Sur cannot say that. School District is the same as Fairbanks Ranch.

By the way – in Del Sur they are dealing on Avaron homes which are pretty nice.

Most people in the Crosby have real jobs or are retired. Most of the people in Bridges are “New Rich”. I am not criticizin them. I haven’t met anybody that has a real job there and it is overpriced versus what you can get in the Crosby

Santaluz vs. Crosby? Santaluz has many lower tract homes. Everything in Crosby is pretty high end. My subdivision minimum size was 5700 sq. feet.

Vferraro, I appreciate your comments on the Crosby. Can you elaborate on the current situation with Avaron? I made an offer on an Avaron home a few weeks ago. My offer was about $200K below asking price, and was rejected.
