Private Park @ Las BrisasAlthough not a gated community, Las Brisas offers a private setting for those who desire relative seclusion. There are two entrances into Las Brisas and the streets curve into an artful collection of cul-de-sacs and private parks. Importantly, there are no thoroughfares so traffic cannot cut through the development. The location of the community is convenient for those who commute as you are only a short skip to Highway 101’s Santa Maria Way exit/onramp. One story and two story plans between about 1100 square feet and 1800 square feet are offered with concrete tile roofs and two car garages. The lots are smaller with some exception here and there; but you definitely have enough room to keep Fido happy without having to spend your entire Saturday on yard work. Also, Las Brisas restricts the number of homes that can be rented within the Association, resulting in a good proportion of owner occupancy within the development.
Las BrisasFor those who are looking for homes within the Orcutt school district, Las Brisas offers a nice selection of homes. HOA dues are approximately $65.00 per month. These homes offer the feel of a newer home in Orcutt (built in the mid 1990’s) within an affordable price range. Recently, in March 2009, a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1568 sq ft one story home sold in Las Brisas for $337,000. And in November 2008, a 3 bedroom 2 bath, 1295 sq ft, bank owned foreclosure sold for $295,000.

Have you visited the models at the Orcutt new home community, Rice Ranch lately? I went by on Saturday to take a peek. The upgrades included are impressive: granite counter tops, 9.5 - 10 foot ceilings, surround sound wiring in great rooms, two tone interior paint, fully insulated exterior walls and ceilings, and ceramic tile flooring in the kitchens.
Located in southeast Santa Maria, Arborwalk is a gated community of townhomes at the intersection of McCoy and Miller; it is near much of the new shopping and commercial development in south Santa Maria. And it is about a 20 minute trip from the main gate of Vandenberg AFB. Imagine walking to everything you need. Imagine living with all the conveniences of modern life easily within reach while living in a protected gated environment. Walking distance to grocery outlets Albertson's and Food Maxx, dining at Yanagi Sushi & Grill and Natural Café, and shopping at Target and Pier One. Arborwalk offers low HOA dues of $88 per month, a fitness trail, a huge greenbelt basin, and inviting rose gardens throughout.
