Open House Review: 22 Ninos

This two level home is nicely located at the end of a short quiet cul-de-sac street next to a walking path and is a street over from the elementary school.  It also has a highly desirable large bonus room.  Children can easily get to Santiago Hills Elementary School without needing to cross any streets.  The property is also close distance to Sierra Vista Middle School and Northwood High School.  Buyers should be aware that the backyard backs to Yale, a non-residential street. Although not a major street, passing cars could be heard from the backyard and through open windows at the back of the home.  However, the cul-de-sac location and flow of the home is terrific for any family.

Open House Review: 3 Recinto

Today I am reviewing a highly desirable single level home in Northwood’s Windstream Community.  Windstream is divided into three gated sections so it limits the amount of car traffic although pedestrian traffic is not limited between the sections. 3 Recinto is found in one of the small cul-de-sacs backing directly to the community pool. Although prices in the area have been on the rise, I was surprised that the home was asking $1,048,000, even though this pool property is in excellent, move-in condition. The only thing that has not been updates are the windows, which are original.   However, the home is now accepting back-up offers so I wonder what the purchase price is.

It feeds into Santiago Hills Elementary, Sierra Vista Middle School and Northwood High.
