Tales of an RSF buyer

[raptorduck]

For us, Santaluz is the same analysis as any other new development. No costs to upgrade the home as it is already brand new. In Fairbanks Ranch and some other areas, we are buying homes that require complete interior updating. Maybe not knocking down walls, but kitchen/bathroom remodels, new floors, finishes etc.

So while you have to pay Mello Roos, you don’t have to pay for improvements. Tough call.

Raptor…I was Miramar late 80’s so probably not. I’m also looking at these areas so appreciate the extensive posts. I haven’t ruled out the coast altogether.

My problem is that Mello Roos is a tough sell for me, especially in places like Santa Luz where the bonds are incredibly high. I know it has some effect on the quality of education, etc., but it can be real tough to quantify that benefit. Home improvements, on the other hand, usually get you what you want in terms of QOL.

I often joke with my wife about the contrast between Fairbanks and Santa Luz. There is a dividing line as you reach the crest driving up San Dieguito Rd. It’s like you’ve reached the 10,000 ft tree line. You go from the eucalyptus and pine tree forested landscape of Fairbanks to the treeless tundra of Santa Luz.

vagabondo. That is so true. It is indeed very odd. Could not be more different. I went after a house in FBR that backed up to Santaluz and then could see it from homes I toured in Santaluz. I like FBR better, but that whole Tuscan landscape thing really appeals to me too.
