Well. I was bored last Sunday and decided to head over to Laguna Altura to take a look at Toscana.
First impressions: Dang. They build this so fast. In fact, I already saw 3 red sold signs on the map they had.
I especially liked Plan 3, the largest and most expensive plan. When you first walk in, it is really open. And, I noticed even when you walk up the stairs, it is very wide so you can easily haul a king bed up the stairs. The salesman told me that the first phase included most of the upgrades I saw. I guess they really want to get people locked in. I especially liked the backyard with the small pool and 3 sprayers they had going into the pool. The downstairs bedroom looked like a separate attached unit because it had its own entrance outside from the backyard. Everything looked very soothing out there.
Drawback: Price. Wow..Starts in the 1.1 range up to 1.25 and that doesn't include major stuff you'd want to do in your backyard. The master bedroom in plan 3 had a his and hers closet which made it look smaller.
Check this out:
Base Property Tax: 1.03%
AD Tax: $4171
CFD Tax: $1700
Other: $152
Effective Tax Rate: 1.6%
Lower than Woodbury and Portola
HOA fees are also $295 which I found kinda low for a gated community
Newer styles look nice, but I still like Quail Hill better.
