There are several places in town where the prices have reached/surpassed the 1.4 mark; Pedro Point, Rockaway and Vallemar. Those neighborhoods are established as being able to hold their value. What Connemara can do remains to be seen. The developers couldn't have picked a more unfortunate time. Really great to have your input. Alek,

Really great to have your input.

The schools here are ok (high schools are horrible), restaurants mediocore except for a handful and a segment of the locals don't give a sh#t about taking care of their homes or anything else in Pacifica. And relative to other parts of the peninsula, the weather is worse (save for Daly City). The developers will be lucky to sell them at far below 1.4 million.

The only 3 places I visit in that area are the Post Office, Mazetti's Bakery on the other side of the freeway and McDonald's which I am happy to see has been completely reconstructed with a Play Place for kids and which I was told is suppose to open tomorrow. Now with the upcoming Walgreens coming into the area also, hopefully we can start to see some additional improvements with the existing or potential new businesses. There's not much draw to this part of Pacifica and mainly because you only see a glimpse of it while driving down Highway 1. Even with a Safeway remodel, you'd probably only catch it AFTER passing the exit. Unlike the Linda Mar Area where you actually can drive through the shopping areas most people end up driving pass this part of Pacifica. Looking forward to the construction of Connemara. Although drivers will continue to pass by at least some will slow down and take notice of the homes on the hill. Yes I agree and would like to see the Safeway get a remodel also.

One of my biggest concerns regarding the location is that the shopping that is closest to the site isn't the best. Safeway needs a major remodel. I agree with your comment about the carriage house, especially since those will be legal rental units. It's really unfortunate that the weather didn't cooperate for them this weekend.

Sizeable plans, large level lots, views, park areas, open space trails are not always available. Would have liked to see a 5 BR, 3 car garage option (i.e. currently need to sacrifice a 3rd garage space to get a 5th bedroom) After viewing the site today, pricing in the $1.4-1.5 mil range will not be unreasonable (at least for the view lots).

Initially I was estimating a max $1.35 mil price on the largest plan. However, I think there will be those willing to pay a premium for not only the view but the fact that the location is high above and surrounded by open space. You could probably walk out the front door and not feel like you are really in Pacifica. There are only 23 homes and I feel the plans are functional and ample in size. I predict the carriage house plans as the favorite seller. There haven't been too many brand new homes being built nearby that are over 3000 s.f. so the size of these homes will also attract a certain group of buyers. Probably not too many 1st time homebuyers but perhaps those moving out of smaller homes in nearby affluent neighborhoods. I’ve been waiting to see what kind of pricing they come up with also.
