Bridle Ridge in Coastal North San Diego County is Ideal New Home Choice for the Long Term

    SAN DIEGO, CA, October 16, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Smart home buyers know that in today's changing economic times buying a new home is truly an investment in the future. Looking forward, rather than short-term, made sense for homebuyers like Dr. Carrie Chun and her husband, Matthew Waizmann, when they decided to buy a home from Pardee Homes (www.pardeehomes.com) at Bridle Ridge in Carmel Country Highlands.

"We can really see ourselves living here for an extended amount of time," said Carrie Chun, M.D. "After buying several homes and moving a few times, this is the first home we were really looking forward to buying because we are planning on staying here for the long term. Bridle Ridge is a nice, easy commute to work and having a home located on a canyon offers us a lot of privacy. Bridle Ridge was just what we were looking for, both in size and price."

Dr. Chun and her husband were also impressed with their new home's layout and choice of options, as well as the ease of buying a new home from Pardee Homes. "From the sales team to the on-site construction superintendent, everyone was very helpful," said Chun. "The sales staff was easy to work with, and the design center staff was especially helpful when it came to guiding us in making any number of decisions when selecting options."
