Sentinels at Del Sur “Redo”

[Ren]

We toured those homes early last year. In my opinion, really nice and unique in and out, really small back yards, some with nice views – if brown inland desert dotted with suburbs is your idea of a “view”. I left thinking you’d have to love your neighbors to live there, and that the houses would be great on larger lots.

If I recall they ranged something like 1m to 1.6m at the time.

corporate is meeting together this weekend to discuss the 'redo' for this development

Translation: Sales have been so dismally slow, the executives realized that they need to change pretty much everything, from floor plans to marketing to prices … in order to have any hope of salvaging the entire project.

I agree, gn. I would imagine they would build smaller (more affordable) homes with private yards. When all else fails, go conventional.

I sold my single-level Plan 1 at the Sentinels at Santaluz about 7 months ago (for a record high) and have mostly praise for how ingenius the homes are. Despite what many people see as an initial lack of privacy, I can say that they are extremely private and have more privacy than conventional tract homes. Windows are placed so that none face into neighbor’s windows and lots are deceptively large (mine was standard at about 8000+sf). I think the demographics (people downsizing from Fairbanks Ranch and RSF, empty nesters, DINKS, second-homes) for the Santaluz homes added to sense of privacy and quiet (no kids in my pod of 8 homes). Neighbors were practically invisible and I there was one I only saw one about 6 times in 3 years! I’d have to say that living in conventional tract homes is much more exposed. Also, my home did not have the carriage house so it did not have a turnn-in garage which provided an additional parking pad for 2 cars which combined with the garage was like a 4-car garage! You could even park a 39ft. motorhome in the parking pad and maneuver it in and out of the pod. The main reason I sold was to be able to permanently park a new custom motorcoach on the property and get slightly more square footage. Once you live in a Sentinel it’s hard to imagine living in conventional tract homes that are all lined up in a row with neighbors all around that look into your home and yard. The pod concept maximizes privacy, views, and is not for everyone, but for those wanting a home that is architecturally significant and liveable! I hope that the “redo” in Del Sur doesn’t ruin a good thing, but think Del Sur was the wrong environment to recreate the Sentinels as the demographic is likely more value and family oriented. The developer of the Sentinels in Santaluz used them as the basis for the Baywood Collection and received numerous awards and much acclaim for both projects!
