Yesterday, I reviewed 154 Kingswood #117 in Northwood Pointe’s Arden Square. This week, I will show you 143 Arden #72, which is located just across the street. Both have three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and comparable pricing – they are actually the same model, but the floor plans are reversed. There is a slight difference in the entryway.
As it happens, there are two other similar units in the same neighborhood that also just came on the market – 71 Arborwood and 181 Kingswood #91. An interested buyer should definitely tour all four properties, since the size and pricing is nearly identical on all of them. As of May 20, 154 Kingswood is listed as Pending on Redfin. 143 Arden had previously been in escrow but fell out right before they relisted it, which accounts for the longer time on the market.
Here’s a closer look at 143 Arden.
The basics:
Asking Price: $799,800
Bedrooms: 3
Bathrooms: 2.5
Square Footage: 1,700
Lot Size: 3,200
$/Sq Ft: $470
Days on Market: 40
Property Type: Detached Condo
Year Built: 2001
Community: Northwood Point – Arden Square
HOA dues are $114 per month and Mello Roos is $600 per year.

Last weekend, I went to look at a house in Northwood Pointe’s Arden Square neighborhood. I ended up seeing a second house, also for sale, right across the street. I visited both, and will review one today and the other next week. The first one I saw was 154 Kingswood #117.
The basics:
Asking Price: $799,000
Bedrooms: 3
Bathrooms: 2.5
Square Footage: 1,700
Lot Size: N/A

HOA dues are $118 per month ($78 + $40) and there are Mello Roos taxes. Northwood Pointe has a fairly low rate for Mello Ross. The realtor for the house across the street said it was only $600/year, so this is likely the same.

Woodbridge Single Family Home - Nice Mix of Assets
12 Silkleaf $881,000
The South Lake area of Woodbridge is known for exceptional properties. And recently there has been a steady stream of million dollar plus single family homes and condos appearing there in open houses as the market goes up. Some have swooped in and out of the market at a record pace.
Thinking about this, I was curious to see this Woodbridge single family home, a little farther from the lake but still within the loop, in a lower price range. What I found was right in line with Woodbridge’s pattern. The home has a distinct charm and covers a lot of ground.

Quail Hill Surprise Package Condo
37 Canopy $999,888
Driving up Knollcrest in Quail Hill, I noticed several other streets that I had visited. But I was a little surprised at what I encountered, turning on Peppercorn and then onto 37 Canopy.
This 2 story condo has some prime assets and a price tag that is just a smidge under a million dollars. As a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath detached home in the desired end unit position, it has canyon, hill and city light views, plus a 3 car garage.
