Mission View Estates by Fieldstone (http://www.fieldstone-homes.com/) was constructed around 2003. Three two story homes ranging in size from 2990 to 3516 square feet were available with original pricing in the mid-$400,000s. Many of these same models were available in the northern half of the River Ranch community also built by Fieldstone. The biggest difference between the two communities was location. River Ranch has no views and is right next to Hwy 76, while Mission View sits high on a hill with over half the homes having great northern or other views. Mission Terrace is also a Fieldstone community in this same area built around the same time, so as a company, they did very well during the boom years. Fieldstone generally tries to make the secondary bedrooms a decent size, and all bedrooms usually have walk-in closets.

Prices today are in the low $600,000s range with HOA dues at $95 per month, no Mello Roos, and in the Oceanside School District (http://www.oside.k12.ca.us/). The community is about 4 miles from the Ocean and has views of Mission San Luis Rey.
