Re. HOA fees. When we first looked at the subdivision we are in, the fees were high enough then in the early 90’s to keep us out. As the recession hit they lowered them. The Board also said that once they were built out they would come down. After we moved in and it was built out, they never came down and seem to keep creeping up. I think Sky Ranch is high and that would keep me out for that reason. I would not buy in a MR neighborhood either. I do like a well run HOA and if there are tennis courts and a pool, like some of the ones in RB, at least you feel like you are getting something for your money. With all that has been posted about SR, unless you can get a great deal from them, I would not buy there.

AN, if this is the case, then your “12-16 ft. apart” guess is probably in the ballpark.

That sounds a little “crowded” to me given the price, esp. in the case of the two story homes. It’s almost as if they are looking into each other’s windows.

I guess if you’re viewing Sky Ranch with Bonita or older Chula (relatively flat) in your mind, you see one thing and if you’re viewing Sky Ranch and comparing it with MM tracts, the lots seem “big” . . . lol!

Of course everyone’s perspective is different. However, big is big, doesn’t matter how you slice it. A 200 lb person surrounded by 300 lb people would feel small/skinny but they’re not. A person making $500k/yr who are surrounded by people making multi-million dollar might feel poor/less fortunate, but they’re not, in the grand scheme of things. 1/4+ usable acre is big, doesn’t matter how you slice it. The amount of dwelling in San Diego with 1/4+ usable acre is quite limited.
