Today I am reviewing a single level home in Northwood’s Park Paseo Community. The home is a single level, zero-lot-line property nicely located on a cul-de-sac street, with the elementary school’s playground grass fields located just at the end of the cul-de-sac. The clubhouse, main pool and tennis courts are located just on the other side of the elementary school. The home would be desirable for a family wanting to be conveniently close to Santiago Hills Elementary School and Sierra Vista Middle School. Northwood High School is designated for this neighborhood.

From the front, this is a very attractive home and appears much larger than its neighbors, though this is partly due to the oddly-shaped lot that it sits on. The entryway features ceramic tile leading down a long hallway, with the living and dining rooms on the left and a bedroom on the right. There is a coat closet just inside the front door.
