ParticipantSkyranch is nice. The price is OK. They were ahead of the price curve for a while, but other areas are showing more movement. I like the views, but not the location. Schools are not that good and HOA is too high. No Mello-roos is nice. There is only one tot-lot and no other amenities. The air planes didn’t bother me, but you might want to consider the danger of a plane crash.

Participant[quote=Operation]My wife and I came very close to buying at Skyranch. The Crestview section in particular.
There were pros and cons for us and in the final analysis, we determined it wasn’t the best fit. We liked the views, the homes and the central location. We liked the fact that the 125, upon completion, would make the commute to La Jolla and other central areas fairly easy. However, the lots were small and the HOAs were outrageous. They have packed in the mello roos into the HOA and at $323/month it was just too much to swallow.
The airport issue there is a non-issue. You can hardly tell it’s near an approach. All I ever saw were prop airplanes landing and they were too far to be noisy.
Worse, dealing with Lennar was a pain. One of the saleswomen was NASTY mean when we first started showing serious interest. They eventually brought in a few more professionals but nonetheless, it left a bad taste in our mouth.
I also wouldn’t count on Santee showing appreciation at a higher rate than anywhere else.[/quote]
We completely agree with you. The HOA is an absolute ripoff! We liked the models at “Eaglepointe”, especially models 1 and 2. However, we heard that the schools are subpar and that was one of the main reasons we are looking elsewhere now.
