Hometown Realty and the San Elijo Hills Visitor Center will be opening soon. Two retail spaces, totaling approximately 2,200 square feet, remain to be leased.
“We are delighted with the positive response we’ve received from the local business community, particularly considering the state of the economy,” said Curt Noland, general manager of San Elijo Hills Development Company, a sister company to San Elijo Hills Town Center LLC that developed the San Elijo Hills Towncenter. “We consider it a tribute to the community’s vitality and to the center’s iconic architecture.”
Sales have commenced for the collection of 12 townhomes situated above the retail spaces and five homes have already been reserved. MarketWalk offers impressively upgraded two- and three-story homes ranging from approximately 1,200 to 2,746 square feet with two to four bedrooms and 2.5 to 3.5 baths. The townhomes are priced from the high $300,000s to the $700,000s. The three-story units have street-level access and meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.
“MarketWalk’s premier location enables homeowners to take full-advantage of San Elijo Hills’ energetic towncenter and recreation-oriented lifestyle. Residences are across the street from the picturesque town square, and just a short stroll from the 19-acre San Elijo Hills Park and the community’s elementary and middle schools,” said Mary Maloney, founder & owner of Hometown Realty, which is listing the homes for sale.
In keeping with the community’s eclectic architectural mosaic, the designs of the townhomes include Italian, Colonial and Loft styles. The interior accoutrements mirror the exterior architecture, giving the homes custom-home warmth and individuality. The varied streetscape looks as if the entire block grew organically over time.
High ceilings and large wood-trimmed windows create an open, airy feeling and gas fireplaces in the living area provide warmth and atmosphere. Selected plans feature terraces overlooking the luxuriant town square.
Exterior amenities include private entry courtyards and gated parking with private two-car garages and storage bays.
MarketWalk is one of the final components in the San Elijo Hills Towncenter, which has received numerous accolades, including a Gold Nugget Grand Award in the “Community/Town Plan” category at the Pacific Coast Builders Conference and major awards from the National Association of Home Builders.
