    Mulberry in CV or Mendocino at SG

    When did you get pre-approved? We have heard nothing so far. I suppose we should start email spamming them. Casero contacted us about a plan 3 that was available since we were on that list too but we are passing on it. They are asking 863k and we don't feel it's worth the price. These markups...

    Upgrading from "california room" to optinal "conservatory room"

    Well, I am basing this question on Mulberry-Cypress Village. But it is meant to be a general question.

    Upgrading from "california room" to optinal "conservatory room"

    When I asked the sales person, he mentioned that it is somewhere from 10-15k for the optional loft. However, I would like to know if anyone has actually purchased this optional loft or the optional conservatory room. If so, what was the actual final price of the upgrade.

    Mulberry in CV or Mendocino at SG

    Thanks for the responses, Inc and Goriat. I do have one more question though. Once you get the pre-approval, do you automatically get added to the wait list or do you need to actually call the sales office to be added to the list ?

    Mulberry in CV or Mendocino at SG

    Congratulations! We just found out that we are pre-approved for Mulberry, but we have no idea how far down on the list we are, which is very discouraging since my significant other really likes it and wants a plan one badly for the private game room/california garage option and additional...

    Cypress Village Homes

    After a long hiatus we returned to home hunting today and visited Mulberry.  The entryway for residence one was grand, the high ceilings make the entire space feel bigger. We liked the california garage/office space in the back and the optional conservatory. We also liked the upstairs loft B...

    Where the smell near I-5 and 133 comes from

    Isn't that the odor from the landfill, hence the nicknames "Stinkgate", and "Potty Springs?"

    Owning the Land Under your House

    Ok, thank you everyone for your responses.  I emailed the people at Cortona but they never responded to me (I guess we weren't noteworthy enough since we did not arrive to preview with suitcase of cash).  So Casero is considered a detached condo due to the garage being in the back/motor court?

    Owning the Land Under your House

    Hi, I would like to know if anyone here can answer this about Woodbury/Stonegate, Potty Springs and Laguna Altura....if you purchase a home in one of these districts do you also own the land UNDER the house? Someone mentioned this to us recently and I think it is a very important detail. Does...

    Mendocino and Saragota in Stonegate

    Are people getting sneak previews? I thought the models were not open until the 22nd.  As for Feng Shui, here is a snippet from Feng Shui Prophet.....I believe the rule applies front to back door only: Feng Shui Living Guide Door The door is the portal, the focus of any building whether a...

    [IHB] A Review of the Casero Tract at Portola Springs

    the casero office woman who took us on the tour to the build site informed us that there are no windows on the wall of the neighbor's house on the same side as the sideyard, so they cannot look down into your yard. I'm not sure if that only applies to some or all of the plans. It's in our top 3...

    [IHB] The Village and the Budget

    Yes, both of those factors are influencing our decision.  If we see a high HOA with few amenities, we scratch that one off the list. (Lagura Altura was the latest casualty).  We have actually decided to look in a lower price range due to mello roos and HOA...we decided that it is better to buy...

    San Mateo Phase 2++ @ Stonegate

    I agree, LA is too isolated, it's good if you want to dine in Laguna Beach each night but not practical if you want your kids to walk to school and need the grocery store to be nearby. Also....they only have one pool for all those homes. A whopping $300 HOA with only one pool and no nearby...

    Mendocino and Saragota in Stonegate

    That's true....I guess I would be happy with SOME backyard but not too much that we're going to have to buy a mower and prune it ourselves (allergic to gardening). Some of the models we've seen have what feels like huge backyard areas and all I see is how much work it's going to take to keep it...

    Garden Hill and Sage in Portola Springs

    We toured Potty Springs this weekend and saw Sage on our way to Casero.  We originally did not consider Sage because the sq footage was too small for us (we prefer 2000+)  but we decided to take a peek after reading that article posted above about Sage being very feng shui. We were impressed...
