I live in Santaluz. Yes, we have demanding architectural and landscaping requirements…aiming to keep the environment natural-looking and true to the early California heritage of the area. If you want lights shining up on palm tree trunks, lots of artificial color from plantings at every intersection, and heavily watered green lawns wasting water, go to the Crosby. Yeah, we’re a little snobbish about it, and frankly not everyone living here agrees, but for my wife and I, empty nesters, it is heaven. Kind of grows on us.
Lots of hiking trails, big lots & big houses if you want them, some with terrific views.
Also, a “dark sky” policy. No glaring lights, on streets or on houses. A little spooky at first, but you can see the moon and stars immediately by stepping out your front door.
Santaluz has had some REO’s, mostly on east side of Del Sur Road, where they put in tacky boxes close to one another for $800k or so three-four years ago. Should not be confused with the REAL Santaluz, east of Del Sur.
Another consideration…we were really surprised at how many families live in Santaluz. Your kids will not lack for friends, although it is quite a hike to walk to neighbors.
I thought I would go to the beach a lot more before I moved to SD. Appart from the occasional stroll near Torrey Pines, I pretty much never go there. I find the other beaches to be crawling with low life or too difficult to park nearby.

I used to live essentially on the beach in Del Mar (10th street) and went there every day. When I lived in Carmel Valley, I went at least once or twice a week without fail.

I am also planning on renting until 09/10. I wasn’t a big fan of Cielo or Santaluz. Really liked FBR and Bridges; not sure if I can afford them. What do you think is the best community in terms of golf memberships and amenities? Thanks
