I know this thread died a long time ago. I just wanted to update you all that we have decided to go with Los Altos, we have already reserved a home in phase 2. Looking at the unfinished model homes of Los Altos and comparing it to Santa Barbara, I think we have made a good overall choice for...

Another good point, will surely watch out for the unit placements and overlap.

Thanks to all for the valuable input I have received. I am sure we will take into consideration the points that you have made. Theoretically we still have both the options open, having pre-qualified for both.
