Monrovia, CA - Craftsman Oaks Planned Community Sales Update


Craftsman Oaks Planned Unit Development(PUD) in Monrovia - contact Realtor Michael Jacobs 818.516.4393 cell



The Craftsman Oaks community is a planned unit development(PUD) in North Monrovia adjacent to the gated community of Bradbury.  Built by Mur-Sol in 2006, Craftsman Oaks consists of 47 Craftsman-inspired homes ranging in size from approximately 1388 square feet to 1637 square feet in two story floor plans with three or four bedrooms.   Homes feature open floor plans and attached garages with direct access to the home.  

There is a small park located within the Craftsman Oaks community with a manicured lawn and barbeque area.   There is generous guest parking throughout the development.
  
Monrovia offers a small town community feel but is convenient to shopping, employment and entertainment.  Old Town Monrovia south of Foothill Boulevard along Myrtle Streets offers a multitude of unique shops, interesting cafes and restaurants and the Krikorian Movie Theatre complex as well as the Friday Night Farmer's Market which is a real community event.  Monrovia’s Gold Line station is scheduled to open as part of the Foothill Extension in approximately 2015.   

There was one sale in Craftsman Oaks according to our local multiple listing service in 2012.  On February 23, 2012, a three bedroom, two and one half home with 1602 square feet sold for $464,000.  This was a short sale.    Currently there are two homes in escrow and none on the market for sale as of January 27, 2013.   

In 2011, there were four sales in Craftsman Oaks and they ranged in closed prices between $450,000 and $472,000 with a median sales price of $456,000.  Of the four sales, two were short sales and two were standard/equity sales.

Roger - the homes in Craftsman Oaks are freestanding -- no common walls but the majority of the "lots" are small and there is a homeowners association that is responsible for the streets and common area of the development.

Amanda - the developers of the community were wise to choose Craftsman-influenced architecture as the area has many examples of early 1900s homes still in existence - they fit into Monrovia quite nicely.

Alexandra and Ron - the weekly Friday Night Market is one of the largest in the area if not the state.

Jeffrey - very true.

Dave - from the days of construction and continuing Craftsman Oaks has been a very popular destination.

Michael the Monrovia, CA - Craftsman Oaks Planned Community sounds like a great place to live and play. Being so near shopping, employment and more is a huge plus. I really like the rock siding on the buildings. Very nice touch.

Wow, those are some nice looking homes.  Chief Cook would absolutely love that.  So, I won't show her!

 

PS - Vikings fans eat crow...not very appetizing.

The Craftsman Oaks Community is beautiful and gated!  We don't have any gated communities in our area.  Thank you for sharing more condomium information for Pasadena with us Michael.

John - the builder is known for some much more expensive single family homes so they are well aware of the features both inside and out that will be appealing to home buyers(and Realtors too).

Ron - she is probably still shivering under the covers during this cold streak you are experiencing.

Laura - the addition of the Gold Line Foothill extension from Pasadena to Azusa(the next step) will definitely benefit the city of Monrovia and I'm sure cities along the new route will benefit greatly.

Joy - Craftsman Oaks is not gated but is near the guard gated community of Bradbury(homes in the multi-million dollar range).   Monrovia is about 15 minutes east(a very California way of speaking, right?) of Pasadena(of course, depending on traffic).

Michael I love Craftsmen style homes, they all have such a great floor plan and generally very spacious. What are the Association Dues here?

Hi Endre -- very reasonable HOA fees - the two units in escrow show them as $138/month but remember these are PUD(planned unit development) so there is more things that the homeowner will be responsible for that would be included in a condo/townhome homeowner association fee.
