Chatsworth new home checkup

Today I was in Chatsworth on the west side of the San Fernando Valley. As I was driving around doing chores and going to Mission Burrito I saw a few housing developments off of Topanga Canyon boulevard.


At the very top of Topanga Boulevard is Toll Brothers new townhome development called "Vistas at Indian Oaks". Here is what the development looks like on the side overlooking the 118:


Since development on this land has been going pretty hard for 6 months or so I was expecting at least the foundations to be laid for the townhomes, but it still looks like they are getting the land ready for the foundations to be laid:




These properties range from 664k-809k, I'll keep everyone updated as the construction continues.

Next on the list is a Richmond American Homes at the corner of Chatsworth and Topanga:






This development doesn't appear on the Richmond American website, but the sign out front said "starting from the mid 1.2 million". The houses themselves are huge but the lots are minuscule. Typical Southern California Mcmansions, I have a real hard time thinking these will sell, but I will keep an eye on them in future.



And finally, at the corner of Lassen and Topanga Canyon is Centex homes Sojourn:




From the exterior, This development looks almost done all the houses need is landscaping and fencing. That is Topanga Boulevard in the foreground and for $734-850k you too can have the privilege of living right on top of a major road and have your neighbors staring in your windows.

I bookmarked your blog...this is my stomping ground too. I look forward to future posts.

Mission Burrito, I clicked on the link you provided and was led to a restaurant in Houston? I love Mexican, but food would be cold by the time I got home. Anything closer?

D'oh! My bad on the URL (I changed it to the CitySearch review site), We went to the one on Roscoe. The owners own 2 or 3 Mission Burrito and 2 Sierras Restaurant.

Great blog! I live in the area and had no idea they were building in this area. The only blog covering this area as far as I know.

Who the $%@* would want to live in Chatsworth??

It's asphalt-runny freakin' HOT in summer, dusty and windy in the fall, and there's just oh SO MUCH to DO around town! The place was where Hollywood's Z-rated droppings accumulated, with pretensions of taming the wild west boulevards then breaking through orange orchards, only recently flush with Mulholland-stolen eau. AND, there was that nukiller meltdown in '59. But Heey, Gee maw, jess the kine a place ah wanna decay in!! Gimme a millun 'backs, ahm gonna git me a shack on the tracks...

Chatsworth is the porn capital of the world, so it does have that going for it.
