ParticipantRe. 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.

ParticipantI could see someone who has older kids in Santee schools that needs a bigger home, but wants to stay in the same district. And/ or in a couple of the larger floor plans, there would be room enough for an aging parent to live comfortably with the family as has been discussed in a previous thread. Otherwise, I would have to agree with flu, not top tier, but there are some nice upgrades. The development would have to be a good fit for a certain demographic and I still think the builder did not do their homework because they have since sold off the largest models and they are not being offered. I think SRO should enjoy what he has and view this as his home and not necessarily an investment because only time will tell.

ParticipantI enjoyed looking at the models (on line) and I think for those have not been to Santee in awhile, it might be worth checking into. The pictures of the views were great. Maybe for some people they are overbuilt for the area in size and style, for others they just might be their cup of tea. For me, that is a lot more house than I need. I would also not want to pay for the upgrades or furniture, affordable or not.
