People suggest that if you want more value, just go out to the ‘burbs. But how far out do you have to go to buy a new one-story house on a 1/2 acre lot with good schools in the $700,000s and $800,000s?
Pulte, California West, Shea Homes, Pardee, and Davidson all have new-home communities being built, or coming soon to the 76 corridor area between North Vista and Fallbrook:
Very nice house (1st vid). Too pricey for our blood. And too far out.
2nd house. Still nice. Better on price. What’s with the huge lots!? At least the shower in the master bath isn’t sized for polygamists in mind, like other new home builders we’ve seen.
Still, too pricey and far out for our blood. Thanks for the video, JtR! Saved us a long drive! 🙂
Same conclusion we came to in 2013.
Coastal was too much for too little, bought new in Arrowood in North Oceanside.
Far enough east to be in Bonsall/Fallbrook school districts, instead of Oceanside SD,?
Even larger projects planned out at CA76 I15 in Fallbrook.
