where to find my dream house?

[quote=wanttobuy]Ok. here is an example.

What I want is an estate feel with an updated feeling. I don’t believe there is Mello-roos on this one, and even if it is gated, the HOA is $67 per month. Wow! I am changing my year requirement. It is not necessary to be after 2000, as long as it is clean and doesn’t look and smell like an old house. This one is in Bridlewood Poway. Anyone know about this community? I heard Green Valley, Gatewood Hills, Lomas Verdes are good too. How do you feel about these communities? Of course, if there are comparable properties in coastal area within this price range, I would rather to stay closer to the beach. Any suggestions? Thanks.[/quote]

wanttobuy, are you situated in the southwest part of the country, or in GA? To me, this listing depicting your “dream” home here with its stone facade is reminiscent of those locales. It appears to have sold for a little above your price range. This property appears to be in one of the small (custom?) subdivisions that I previously mentioned where the plat map was obviously in process before the first CFDs were formed in SD County, thus it escaped MR.

Are you aware that Poway and its eastern surrounds is 10-15 degrees warmer (and colder) than the coastal areas, depending on season?

Not sure about the other areas of Poway you mentioned, but I believe some of “Green Valley Estates” has Mello-Roos.

Green Valley is partly tract, partly custom homes. all will have mature landscape. Most were built in the late ’60’s to late ’70’s but some earlier. But don’t let that scare you away, many have been remodeled. Mostly 1/4 to 1 acre lots. Wide variety, but not many very large homes. Most are from about 2,400 to 3,500 sq ft. A few with granny flats. Very nice area, I lived there for almost 10 years.

Bridelwood Estates (where the home you linked to is located) was built in the early to mid ’90’s. I’m guessing most of the lots are 1/2 to 1 acre. Mostly pretty nice homes. (There are 3 Bridlewood developments. This is the only one with custom homes. The other 2 were larger tract homes. It also has a private entrance, which at one time was gated, not sure if it still is.)

Lake Poway Estates is newer. All custom homes. It’s west of the Bridlewood Estates home you linked to. (West of Espola Road.) Mostly built in the ’90’s. Pretty wide choice, some larger lots, some homes well over 5,000 sq ft. (may even be up to 10,000 sq ft, not sure.)

Lomas Verdes Estates – North of Espola Road, started getting built out in late ’90’s. Pretty big lots (1 acre +). Wider upper end selection. Some wild architecture.

If you’re interested in going into Ranch Bernardo, there are some beautiful older homes in the Trails that would probably meet your needs.

Thanks, SK in CV. So you now moved to CV? Some says Inland is 10-15 degree hotter/colder. Any comments? What about price range? Any difference among these communities? Any info. will be appreciated. Or is there an agent familiar with the area to recommend? Thanks.
