ParticipantStopped by and took a look.
Nice houses but I’m completely at a loss understanding why they use such tiny lots. Sales office parking lot looks like it’s in the middle of nowhere. Nothing but empty land for miles in every direction. Why do they have to stack these house almost on top of each other if there’s so much free land available? No need to mention that there’s no room for my pumpkins, no grass for kids to play on, and no privacy.
All houses are 4 br max and there’s no option to add a loft/office if you go with 4 bedrooms. (Is it so hard to find room for an office in a 2300 sf house?) For me, it means a computer in the bedroom (again). No, thank you, not for 550k.
Property tax is 1.9%, plus HOA, plus something called “sub association fee” that’s not to exceed 0.125% of purchase price. By my calculations, mello-roos effectively add 80k to the purchase price.
Their only appeal is that they’re new. Mid-600’s buy you a much nicer house in Park Village (equally good schools, similar footage, much bigger lot). In 20 years Park Village will still be valued and Del Sur will become high-density housing for low income Mexicans.
Of all new houses I’ve seen in San Diego this summer, Quintessa plan 1 remains my favorite. Overpriced but very nice.

just in case ppl are afraid del sur might be running out of land…
yellow area is the high end portion, including avaron
the red area is finishing up after 2 years of building
they are just getting started with the green portion
then there’s the orange area which will also include shops and some commercials that they haven’t even touched on yet
they are cramping in as much house into the land so they can maximize profit. simple as that.

ParticipantWent by this afternoon and I basically agree with the poster that also went by today (I was the guy in the flops and orange shorts – not sure if we were there at the same time). The materials are cheap (cheap countertops and backsplash, flooring looked cheap and the houses looked small.
Went by Sentinel by John Laing – those are some nice houses with nice big lots (7K i think) but high priced.
