ParticipantWhile we want Encinitas, the prices in San Marcos are so tempting lately that we recently checked out SilverCrest. The gates are nice but unfortunately, that was it-IMO. The lawns looked run down, the park outside was rundown, basically it looked pretty haggard. I was SHOCKED becasue the HOA is so high and I have no idea what it is for (no pool, no tot lot). The homes are great and the lots are good sized but the feel of the community was kind of “ghetto” and we left disaapointed. Beleeza, a nearby community, had a much cleaner, nicer feel although the homes were smashed together. The HOA at Beleeza is about a third of SilverCrest though.

Participantsdlvr,
I should have stuck with ocean front la Jolla after seeing Silver Crest for the first time. I had no idea that it looked “ghetto” compared to Encinitas. Encinitas must be paved with gold and have chocolate fountains and ripe apples for the picking every where. The homes in Encinitas that were in the same price range as my Silver Crest home were all POS’s, 35 years old without improvements, half the size, small lots and old neighbors.
After living in La Jolla, Pacific Beach, Santa Barbara, Scottsdale, San Diego and now San Marcos I have definately found the nicest neighborhood in Silver Crest. An HOA of $116 is not “SHOCKING” to me. Maybee knife catchers like yourself are propping up prices in dreamy Encinitas.April 2, 2008 at 8:20 AM #179990Butleroftwo

ParticipantIs that $116/month? And no pool or park? What does it buy you? Or is that a yearly fee?
Not that I am looking to buy in Encinitas right now either.
