Butleroftwo,
I’m sorry if I offended you if you live there. I merely meant it seemed “ghetto” compared to other developments with $108 HOA and $275 MR fees-which seem really high to me for no pool, tot lot, etc.
On the day we visited the lawns were not kept up, there were trash cans overflowing, visible junk in side yards, the playground at front was not nice,etc. I was surprised by the feel of it since the homes are so nice.
Two years ago my friends tried to buy in there and couldn’t afford it. They went looking last week with us and they said they were surprised at how much it had changed and agreed it looked haggard compared to the last time they visited. They ended up buying in Beleeza and I know that community better since we visit them. They have made many friends and it seems to have a neighborly feel with BBQ’s, playdates, park days, etc. I just don’t like how smashed together Beleeza is.
But the actual homes are lovely and the interior was much nicer than anything we saw in Beleeza…just wondered about the “neighborhood”. And it could have just been an off day when we visited. Anyway, I was trying to help explain why those prices are low for what seem to be amazing deals on great houses…Just my opinion though.All that as it is, if that same neighborhood was in Encinitas for the same prices I’d buy in a second! It just wasn’t as great as we’d hoped to lure us away from buying/living in Encinitas.

April 1, 2008 at 10:45 AM in reply to: What the the community atmosphere in Silver Crest (San Marcos) #179687sdlvrParticipantWhile 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.

We’re sticking to Encinitas! πsdlvrParticipantThanks for your responses. We’ll check out Fieldstone-not familar with it. Is it by the Cambria development? We still don’t live in Encinitas but we’re planning on renting there starting this summer. We’d like to start renting where we’ll buy since our kids start school this fall.
