Make sure you check out the view from wherever you are considering buying in the Lopez area. Many golf course homes also have what I call the "power towers", the big high voltage electric transmission lines. Also, west of BV in the north areas can start to have an issue with train noise. Any home you are considering nearer the train tracks, you should spend a good part of the day sitting in your car in front or near the home and wait for the train to come through. The TV real estate reps will not mention this to you, and are very adept at showing the homes in that area when the trains don't run. the north does seem less crowded than south of 466. The landscaping is definitely more mature in the north, but there are some beautiful vistas further south. It's just different. If you play tennis, the north area is the only place that has rubico courts. The MMPs seem a little less crowded, if you bicycle or jog. Finally, make sure you read the stickies regarding things to know about the villages. Lots of useful things in them.
