Own a New Home at El Paseo -- an Affordable Alternative to Rent
LAKE FOREST, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 9, 2015) - The dream of homeownership in Orange County is now within reach at El Paseo by Brookfield Residential. This gated new community within the Village of Foothill Ranch is attracting those who want to say goodbye to renting and hello to homeownership. With low prices and the financial benefit of no Mello-Roos fees, renters are excited to learn they now have the opportunity to buy new at El Paseo! For immediate information on priority registration, visit www.BrookfieldSoCal.com.
There are many financial advantages of buying a home and recent data proves it. Trulia, one of the top real estate websites, found that homeownership is less expensive than renting in all of the country's 100 largest metropolitan areas, which includes Orange County. The average cost of homeownership in the country was 38 percent lower than renting in 2014, and rent continues to rise faster than home prices. Homeowners can also deduct their mortgage interest on their income taxes, which often results in money back from the government! Rent payments are never tax deductible.
"It is especially gratifying when renters visit the sales office and leave as a new El Paseo homeowner," said Mercedes Meserve, Vice President of Marketing for Brookfield Residential Southern California. "El Paseo is not only the most exciting new home opportunity in Orange County, it's the place where renters are becoming homeowners."
Continued enthusiasm for the stylish new homes of El Paseo have led to new phase releases to meet demand. The combination of the community's affordability, location, low-maintenance living, and home designs has been an instant hit with buyers.
El Paseo offers six innovative townhome designs ranging from approximately 944 to 1,792 square feet, with 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms, up to 2.5 baths, and 1 or 2-car garages. Open floorplans offer spacious gathering areas with great rooms and modern kitchens. Covered decks and private patios, per plan, extend the living space outdoors. Pricing for El Paseo's 1-bedroom floorplan starts from the mid $300,000s; 2 bedrooms start from the mid $400,000s; and 3 bedrooms are priced from the low $500,000s.
