Village of Northpoint CondosThe Village of Northpoint condominium community offers residents a tucked away feel in the heart of Orcutt. Located just off Foster Road and within walking distance of both Righetti and St. Joseph’s High Schools, this development boasts a pool, clubhouse and tennis courts. Mature trees line the blacktopped streets dotted by clusters of townhomes with blue tinted tile roofs. There are 3 and 4 bedroom plans, each with the bedrooms upstairs and the main living space and half bath downstairs. Units have a patio, and a balcony off the master suite. Monthly association dues range from about $220 – $250 per month.

In July 2006, Mint Properties opened an office in the Mission Creek Plaza on Santa Maria Way. Tni’s stated aim is to offer the highest quality representation and professional service to her clients. Independence affords her the ability to avoid a volume driven approach; the result is prompt, reliable, individualized service coupled with straightforward advice. Indeed, she brings the same level of professionalism to real estate as she did to the law.
Driftwood Gardens is a small community of homes in southeast Santa Maria near George Washington Battles Elementary School. The street names have an aviary theme: Raven Court, Swallow Street, Lark Drive and Bluebird Street. They consist of two story 2, 3, and 4 bedroom plans ranging in size between approximately 1400 - 2200 square feet. The floor plans are open and inviting often featuring an upstairs loft; some floor plans even offer two master bedroom suites.
Currently, there is intense competition among buyers in the Santa Maria market. If this is a buyer's market, it sure doesn't feel like it anymore. Indeed, with the banks calling almost all the shots in the under $300,000 market (short sales and foreclosures), it certainly feels like a sellers market.
