The exterior of the Evergreen model homes are the most impressive I've seen out of all the model homes we've visited. Don't know what the actual homes will look like, but those Evergreen model homes look beautiful on the outside.
IMO Toll Bros usually uses higher end materials & finishes on the exterior than some builders which I can appreciate. Locally, Lennar and KB are the builders I see that do the bare minimum.
Yes, TB is known as a luxury builder, which is why we were willing to buy at The Meadows without having a chance to look at the models. Unfortunately, when we drove to the site, we were completely turned off by the fact that it was a pit and surrounded by industrial/commercial. We gave up on The Meadows after visiting the site. I'm sure that the community itself is going to be very nice, based on the promotional videos, but once you leave the community, it's not very nice.
Unfortunately these phase 1 buyers are not going to enjoy the gains that they think they can get. Market is declining, interest rates are ~6%+ for jumbos and climbing, competing against TB for unsold homes, landscaping not done, and capital gains tax. Their 1.7m is base pricing and with all the upgrades it can be 2m at most. Homes have no views really. TBH these homes are probably not more than 2m WITH landscape done. And if you don't upgrade the interior, good luck selling it. Teresina is already having difficulties selling with a better location and some homes are upgraded as well.
I really liked the Teresina homes. I thought they already sold out. There were only a few homes left, so they wouldn't even let me get on the waitlist back in Sept last year. They probably took too long to release the homes.
I like those Teresina homes a lot. The location there was also interesting. Some of the streets were oddly set up, but overall it was nice.
Teresina sold out besides one model home with view left. Then there are 3 resales in the market for Teresina that are overpriced.
Yea $260 for no amenities is high. Though it’s 85 homes in that community. It doesn’t feel as dense as a lot of other new communities though. Every new community nowadays has 100+ homes. homes are decent size at 3200+ sqft.
Teresina is placed in an already established neighborhood off of Trabuco in Lake Forest. It's all the way at the top of Peachwood by a sports park. It's an okay area, some of the homes just seem very close together with the way the roads loop and curve in the community. The HOA is way too high given that there are no amenities...
That's good for LF, Island Pacific is farther than 99 Ranch on Jeffrey/Walnut for me.
