Puzzled by Real Estate Lingo?

             Five Star Award

Puzzled by the various Descriptions of Properties when you are searching?

Here are the current Definitions of Residential Styles from Sandicor, which should make searching a bit simpler.  

Detached:

Neither the residence nor any attached garage shares any wall with another property. This category also includes zero lot-line properties. The residence and/or attached garage is separate, disconnected and shares no common façade, roof or exterior wall.  

Twinhome:

One of only two units attached by a single wall, façade, ceiling, roof or garage. 

Townhome:

One of 3 or more units attached horizontally; each unit is typically 2 or more stories, but can be single story; no unit located above or below the subject unit; can be attached on one or two sides, but not on three sides; typically would have a front entrance and access to a yard or patio at the rear or side of the unit.  

Row Home:

One of three or more units that are attached by a façade, roof or walkway.   

All Other Attached:

An attached unit that does not fit the definition of Twinhome, Townhome or Row Home.  Is typically part of a larger building with units above, below or on three sides. This style is meant to convey the characteristics of the building not just the unit listed. The “Unit Location” field gives additional info about the specific unit.  For example, if the subject property is a penthouse or end unit attached at only one wall but part of a large multi-story building, it should be placed in the All Other Attached category.  

Manufactured Home:

Includes all homes which were constructed in substantial or in part at a location other than the final property address.  This category is independent of whether “real estate is included”, the property is on a foundation, HCD documents have been filed, the form of ownership, or the property is on the tax rolls. 

Modular Home:

Modular homes are built in sections at a factory. Modular homes are built to conform to all state, local or regional building codes at their destinations. Sections are transported to the building site on truck beds, then joined together on site. Local building inspectors check to make sure a modular home’s structure meets requirements and that all finish work is done properly.

One of the 7 Best Lots in “The Palisades” in Poway

mls 640x480

The Palisades is one of Poway’s most desired neighborhoods, and this is one of the very best lots in the entire development! The community is comprised exclusively of single-level homes on lots of at least 1 acre in size. What makes this setting special is the corner location, which results in a flat, entirely usable acre!

Highlights include an oversized pool and spa, sport court, gated RV parking, covered entertaining area, and expansive lawn, all framed by lush landscaping and near-total privacy!1 Acre Flat Lot

The single-level floor plan offers generously proportioned rooms and versatility with the bedroom count. Though originally designed as a 4-bedroom plan with a large, formal dining room, it’s simple to utilize the dining room as a 5th bedroom or office, while the enormous living room has more than enough space for a still-spacious dining area.

pool5Poway is a suburb of San Diego, situated approximately 20 minutes from downtown San Diego. With its reputation for friendly residents and often-spacious lot sizes, Poway is affectionately referred to as “The City in the Country”. Poway boasts 4,700 acres of open space, 82 miles of trails and 25 parks.

The highly acclaimed Poway Unified School District is well-known for its impressive test scores and peak performance of its students. Many home buyers target Poway, whether or not they have children, due to the stability of property values afforded by this highly desired school district.

This is a “sweet sale”, owned by actual humans instead of a bank! If you’ve ever tried to buy a property in the short sale process, you can appreciate how rare and wonderful it is to deal with actual people! A reasonably speedy closing can be accomplished here.

Be sure to see the virtual tour, then arrange for a private viewing of this 1-of-a-kind offering. This is a Value Range Listing. The seller will entertain offers between $1,100,000 and $1,350,876. Sara Driscoll 858-336-5643.

RANCHO BERNARDO: Focus on 4S Ranch

4S Ranch is a Newland master planned community encompassing 2900 acres and located in North San Diego County in Rancho Bernardo. It is conveniently located two miles west of I-15, about 25 minutes from San Diego Airport and 20 minutes to the beaches of Del Mar. It was named “Best New Home Community” by the readers of the San Diego Union  Readers for 2009.  The community is family friendly with schools, parks and shopping all located within this lovely community.  The tree lined streets , sidewalks, grassy median strips and front porches on many of the homes invite neighbors to visit one another.  A fiber optic network ties the residents together on the Internet with their own website;4S Connect. Ten miles of trails are woven into the landscape for walking and biking.

024

There are wonderful parks within the various neighborhoods of 4S Ranch. They are filled with children playing and families picnicking and enjoying one another.  4S Community Park has a baseball and soccer field, basketball ,roller hockey and boccie ball.  Heritage Park and Patriot Park each offer a tot lot and 1/2 basketball court.  Pioneer Park (my favorite) offers a picnic area, swings, tot lot and a gazebo.

The Schools in 4S Ranch are within the Poway Unified School district which has an excellent reputation for parent participation and academic excellence.  There are 2 elementary schools; Monterey Ridge and  Stone Ranch.   The Oak Valley middle school serves grades 6-8 and opened in 2005. It has @ 1025 students , 52 teachers and offers a block schedule of 4 classes per day. Del Norte , 4S Ranch’s new state of the art high school opened in 2008. The campus covers 62 acres and the curriculum is very comprehensive.  Many students walk or ride their bikes to the schools as they are located within the various neighborhoods.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          045

There is a Boys and Girls Club located within 4S Ranch which opened in 2004, encompassing 24,919 sq.ft.  It is very popular and offers many after school programs; crafts, sports, camps, dance, art and a technology center.  It is a hub for students and also has a Junior Olympic size pool, and a slide and plunge pool for less serious water sports. It is located adjacent to one of the elementary schools and next to a park.You don’t have to leave 4s to find great shopping.  It’s all in there!  The 4S Commons covers 266,000sqft and has 40 tenants. Bed, Bath and Beyond, Ralphs, CVS Pharmacy, Jimbo;s, Ace Hardware , World Market (my favorite), BBQ’s Galore and many other retail stores are home here.  Restaurants;  Capri Blu, Panterra, Zocalo, Los Primos and others (check it out!) There is a smaller center with a Chevron gas station and Starbucks as well as a great French Cafe in the Village Retail Center on the north side of Dove Canyon.

049

There is something for everyone  in housing in 4S Ranch.  There are town homes that appeal to empty nesters or young professional people. Many are multi-leveled to afford privacy in smaller living spaces. Many of the communities have their own pools for residents.  Detached homes range from 1400-5600 sq.ft with various yard features and sizes. Many are on low traffic cul de sac streets.  With the near perfect climate homeowners can use their patios, BBQ’s, pool and spas year round so they are popular additions to backyards. The architecture ranges from craftsman,Mission or Ranch styles.  My favorite homes have back load garages and front porches. The downturn on the market has created  many buying  opportunities for people to purchase these wonderful properties. At the peak of the market the larger 5 bedroom, 3500+ sqft homes were selling for $1.1-1.2 and are now in the $800,00’s.  Large 4 bedroom homes are currenyly available from $600,000 and  because they are newer have many features buyers favor; granite, upgraded appliances, moldings, professional paint and window covernings and lovely patios.
