Santaluz Community in San Diego, Ca. 92127
The Santaluz Community rejoices in a near-perfect climate. The community's elevation ranges from approximately 200 to 900 feet. The community is only 6.5 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, which enables residents to gaze out at toward the blue Pacific and be on the beaches of Del Mar within a short 10 minute drive. Wedged between Del Mar and Rancho Santa Fe this gated neighborhood offers exclusivity and privacy for its residents. There is some confusion as to what neighborhoods are in "Santaluz.". The MLS (Sandicor) system for realtors has designated areas of Black Mountain Ranch as Santaluz. These neighborhoods are adjacent to what is Santaluz developed by DMB and controlled by Santaluz HOA. They include Santa Monica, Verrazzano and Mirasol. They are lovely communities with their own unique home styles and features but a distiction should be made so buyers are clearly informed. Santaluz controlled by Santaluz HOA has 850 homes, 542 "production" homes built by respected large builders and 308 custom homes. There are @3800 acres in Santaluz with a density of 1 home per 4 acres allowing for much open space, trails, an 11 acre center green area and a Rees Jones Golf Course. There is a very active Santaluz Club which requires private equity memberships at 3 levels featuring fitness, a pool, tennis, social events, Camp Santaluz for children, a world class spa and golf. The 35,000 sqft clubhouse and spa facility offers a myriad of services and social events for members. Prices in Santaluz range from $750,000-$4,000,000.

The Santaluz Community owes its vision most to its setting. This region's unchanged coastal mesas and folded stream valleys inspired a new process of creating a Village interlaced with neighboring homes and gardens, trails, preserves, winding streets, a village green and a Rees Jones golf course, that not only respects the land, one's neighbors but also it's history as a ranching tradition. Here, red boulders, gentle contours and high hilltop vantage points were not elements to grade and diminish, but treasures to leave alone and enjoy.All design elements are in perfect balance creating a seamless relationship with the land. |

A light hand assures a delicate touch critical during grading for roads and home-sites on these beautiful landforms. Set in the rolling hills framed by the west slopes of Black Mountain, the San Dieguito River Valley, and boulder-clustered knolls between Lusardi and La Zanja creeks this Santaluz community creates a perfect balance between nature and home.

The architectural vision for Santaluz Community has created a village of carefully designed, rustic, ranch-like dwellings that rest comfortably in this landscape offering panoramic views of the coast, canyon, private Rees Jones golf course and/or the city. Nearly two-thirds of the 850 homes planned for Santaluz Community have been placed on sites that are curvilinear in shape. The unique "round" provide an effortless blend with the soft shapes of land forms, natural flow of open space throughout the Village and allows for interesting home placement to be better oriented with light and spectacular views.

Santaluz is a Gated Community!
|
|
The Santaluz Community gathers inspiration from the beauty of European country homes of the Mediterranean- Andalucia, Provence and Tuscany- regions sharing hilly lands and perfect weather to design broadened roof lines opening to elaborate courtyards with bubbling fountains and an abundance of flora. Influences include Colonial architecture of historic adobe haciendas, Monterey-style homesteads, California mission styles and 1930's Cliff May ranch designs brought together to reflect the grace of bygone eras.
|
The Community is a model of innovative design with special care taken to protect the 3,800-acre community's natural character and enhance the "Early California" setting. Named "Best Master-Planned Community in Southern California" by the Building Industry Association, Santaluz also received the Gold Nugget Award for "Best Land Plan" at the Pacific Coast Builders Conference.

Along with a collection of custom home sites and homes, there are seven residential communities. Each of them has a distinct character and appeal. They range from @2200 sqft to 5500 sqft from small patio sized lots to 1/2 acre+ lots. Some have views and others park like smaller yards for those that want to simplify yard maintenance and expense.Some of the homes appeal to empty nester's and what I term "turn key and go (travel) and others appeal to growing families. There is something for that will appeal to all types of buyers with various requirements. The most important factor is residents become part of a community where you know your neighbors and value the environment.
The "production" homes are The Casitas (80 homes), Sentinels (80 homes), Hacienda Sur (50 homes), Posadas (55 homes), Garden Homes (63 homes), Spanish Bungalows(64 homes), Belsera by Warmington (65 homes), and the Davidson homes (71 homes).

Property Taxes on San Diego County Real Estate
Under State law (Proposition 13), real property is reappraised only when a change-in-ownership occurs, or upon completion of new construction. Except for these two instances property assessments cannot be increased by more than 2% annually, based on the California Consumer Price Index. The property tax rate is 1%, plus any bonds, fees, or special charges.
This adds up to approximately 1.2% of the purchase price. As a rule of thumb, you can calculate your monthly tax payment by dividing the purchase price by 1000. For example, if you purchase a $500,000 property, the taxes will be around $500 per month. Unlike some other states, different cities in California do not have greatly different tax rates.
Yearly increases in taxes. Taxes go up only 2% a year, for as long as you own the home. It's not like other states where they decide they need more money and re-assess your home.
Mello Roos
In 1982, two state legislators, Sen. Henry Mello (Dem., Watsonville) and Assemblyman Mike Roos (Dem., West Hollywood) found a way around proposition 13 and affected passage of a bill known as the Community Facilities Act. This act authorized local governments and developers to create Community Facilities Districts for the purpose of selling tax-exempt bonds to fund public improvements. The homeowner then pays a supplemental tax bill to pay back the bonds.
Most new neighborhoods in San Diego County have Mello-Roos fees and Santaluz is no different. These help pay for new roads, schools, parks, libraries, and other community services in developing areas.Each home/lot was assessed when they were first sold. Therefore the Mello Roos differs from home to home. This information is readily available from the tax assessor and is published on the MLS.
