ParticipantA big reaon Stonebridge is cheaper is because the houses are MUCH bigger. Price/sq ft drop drastically as homes get larger because most of a home is fixed costs. Bigger home is more sq ft to amortize those fixed costs over. Also, those Stonebridge homes are new so there is likely a 6 figure expense coming for landscaping, paint, window treatments, appliances etc.

ParticipantAlso not mentioned are the HOA & MR for Stonebridge is close to $600 a month on top of your mortgage. That’s a big disadvantage vs. old Scripps.

ParticipantThe HOA & MR are no doubt a huge cost. Regarding the school district, the MR’s are tied into the Poway school district. A couple factors driving our decision were the Catholic school 2 blocks away that we will be using, a huge view lot, large living spaces, being off the main road, a lot of open space around us, distance from the neighbors, and having a brand new home to set up as we like. For us, Stonebridge works. There is a lot of denial out here, one couple in the hood said “you know this is a million dollar neighborhood”. I didn’t have the heart to burst his bubble that myself and others didn’t pay a million. I must have missed that memo!
