Elevator pitch:
The location of Waterford is pretty desirable given that is right off of San Elijo Road and across the street from the a gorgeuos park. The homes within Waterford that have yards that face southwest are very valuable, while those that don’t benefit from that orientation are less valuable…sure real estate is all about location location location but once you actually arrive it’s really all about orientation orientation orientation. Like new construction? How about a 10 year home builders warranty against major structural defects? Waterford was built in 2004 and still has that new home smell and is under warranty until 2014!* If worrying about any type of construction defect is something you want to absolutely rule out, perhaps buying a home still under warranty is a card that you want to keep in your deck. is considered the southeasternmost subdivision of San Elijo Hills tucked away from the hustle and bustle of ‘downtown’ yet just a few blocks from San Elijo’s second largest park.

Waterford secret:
