Carlsbad Real Estate - New Homes at 53 Melrose in Carlsbad California

Buyers in the Carlsbad real estate market have yet another round of choices for new homes at 53 Melrose in southeast Carlsbad California. 

Carlsbad real estate new homes at 53 Melrose signageThe newest subdivision in Carlsbad over the hill from La Costa and just north of La Costa Oaks is starting construction, with the first wave of new homes at 53 Melrose scheduled for occupancy around the April 2010 time frame. This subdivision is located at the corned of Melrose (hence the name) and Rancho Santa Fe Road, with a total of 53 homes being built - thus rest of the name. 

53 Melrose offers 3 floor plans, ranging from 2025 SF to 2411 SF with 3 or 4 bedrooms and 3 or 3.5 baths. All homes are two-story and one plan offers a downstairs bedroom. Beginning prices will be in the $520,000 to $540,000. Given the activity we area seeing in the other new construction communities in Carlsbad, these homes will likely not sit around for long. 

Carlsbad real estate new homes at 53 MelroseThe builder, D. R. Horton, has an excellent reputation (builder of Villareal in La Costa Greens) and Carlsbad buyers interested in new detached homes under $600,000 have a rare opportunity - the large parcels of land to be developed as subdivision as about gone, with the only other area being Robertson Ranch. 

Children will attend the San Marcos Schools which includes the La Costa Meadows Elementary School

No homes have been built yet but the models are expected to be far enough along in construction for tours in December.

If I can provide more information or arrange a personal tour, please let me know. And keep in mind the extension of the first time home buyer credit until April 30, 2010.

Carlsbad Real Estate | New Homes at CopperWood in La Costa Oaks in Carlsbad CA (Oct 2009 UPDATE)

Buyers in the Carlsbad real estate market seeking new homes might consider CopperWood in La Costa Oaks in Carlsbad CA, if they are looking for larger homes (and higher price) than those at Rockledge across the street. But these new construction homes in La Costa are going fast, too...surprisingly so.

La Costa - A Great Residential Community in Carlsbad

La Costa Oaks is a master planned community built between 2003 and 2006 and until recently only offered resale homes. That has now changed with the new developments at Rockledge and CopperWood.

Model home at CopperWood in La Costa Oaks La Costa Carlsbad CA

CopperWood (total of 53 homes) and Rockledge are the two new La Costa Oaks communities offering new homes that are pretty well priced relative to resale homes currently active in the Carlsbad real estate market. The new homes at CopperWood are priced in the mid $700,00s to low $800,000s currently which is a good value in the Carlsbad real estate market for homes this size.

Phase 1 is already sold out and all homes (most with canyon and/or distance ocean views) have now closed escrow. 

CopperWood New Homes at La Costa Oaks - Phase 2:

There are 4 Carlsbad home available in this phase with a December 2009/January 2010 anticipated move-in date. These homes (3 floor plans) range from 3189 SF up to 3688 SF:

  • Plan 1 - 3189 SF with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a 3 car garage (Plan 1 has a downstairs MBR) for $769,490 ($241/SF)
  • Plan 2 - 3511 SF with 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, media room and library, 3 car garage for $802,990 ($229/SF)
  • Plan 3 - 3688 SF with 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, media room for $810,990 ($220/SF)

CopperWood New homes at La Costa Oaks - Phase 3:

There are 2 homes left in this phase with a March/April 2010 move-in date planned: Plan 1, priced at $817,990 with 3260 SF and a 9000SF+ lot, and a Plan 3, priced at $821,990 with 3688 SF on a lot of almost 8000 SF; these homes are not view homes. Estimated property taxes are 1.3% (which includes Mello Roos fees) with HOA fees of approximately $242 (to be verified) which will decrease to about 223/monthly once the community (including Rockledge) is completed. Residents will have use of the private club, The Oaks Club (a 5500 SF facility in the existing community), offering a large pool, spa, kitchen, meeting rooms and more. A new pool facility is being built within walking distance of CopperWood and is expected to be completed in 2009.

Buyers who use CopperWood's preferred lenders will receive up to $10,000 toward their closing costs (call me for more information). That could be an incentive.

Children in the CopperWood community will attend the Encinitas Union and San Dieguito Union High School Districts schools. 

Shopping and dining are nearby, the beaches are about 6 miles west, and the new La Costa Town Square is slated to be built down the street less than a mile away.

CopperWood provides a terrific, but clearly increasingly limited, opportunity for buyers seeking new homes of over 3000 SF and 4 or more bedrooms in the Carlsbad real estate market. Don't miss out on this opportunity - give me a call with any questions and to arrange a tour.
