Don and Leah Laux have lived in Carlsbad for 10 years and love this charming coastal town, so when this young couple learned they were expecting twins, they knew many exciting changes were ahead, including finding a home to accommodate their growing family. Fortunately, Don and Leah don’t have to move too far to raise their children, because they will soon be living at Blossom Grove at The Foothills by William Lyon Homes, which is just a mile from their current home and the perfect choice for a promising future. And with a new low tax rate of 1.3%*, there is even more good news for buyers just like Don and Leah who want a new family-sized home in a master-planned community!
“Our family is about to double in size and it quickly became apparent that we would need more space and less upkeep. Leah and I first thought about making renovations to our older home, but as we were driving to the local hardware store, we kept stopping at different neighborhoods to tour the models as well as open houses for resale opportunities,” Don explained. “Ultimately, we had the undeniable desire to have something brand new and looked at a variety of detached plans to see what was possible. We actually visited another William Lyon Homes neighborhood and were instantly impressed with the quality, so when Leah and I learned that Blossom Grove was being built in Carlsbad, we were interested right away. It was important for us to be near the beach to enjoy the ocean breezes and great weather, and since Carlsbad is such a well-run town it became a priority to stay in the area.”
“The floorplans at Blossom Grove instantly stood out; they offer smart, flexible spaces and are solidly built. We could really see and feel the difference. In fact, we were so impressed by the models, they became the benchmark for everything else and were the standard against which we judged other new home opportunities. The master-planned community was also appealing, since we want to be part of an environment where other residents are raising young families and sharing common goals. Being near great schools is equally important and having access to the Carlsbad Unified School District is another great bonus,” Don added.
With their twins due this September, Leah and Don were focused on finding a home where they could put down roots for the future. “Blossom Grove’s Plan Two is a wonderful layout and gives us the flexibility and space we need to raise our children. We like how the open kitchen flows directly into the great room, which will be an important area of the home for the kids as they grow up. I also really like the secondary sitting room that offers a quiet, light-filled space, and the private guest room on first floor is perfect for visitors. We definitely needed this extra room and are looking forward to having family members visit when the babies are born.”
“My wife and I are getting a good value and a quality, well-built home; the Plan Two design is exactly what we have been waiting for. William Lyon Homes made a big difference in our home buying experience by including granite countertops and stainless steel appliances as standard amenities, which was quite impressive. The sales team was also very accommodating and did a fantastic job keeping everything on track,” Leah and Don both said.
“This is a complete home buying package. We are moving to a brand new home in a family-friendly community with resort quality recreation and new neighbors that are also starting out at Blossom Grove. It was a good time to buy — all the stars aligned and we could not be happier about the exciting beginnings ahead,” Don concluded.
