Hello List,
This is true for Tierra Nueva, Cen. CA Coast, as well.  Our families with
children are crammed into the 2 bedroom units, the "economical" 3 bedroom
units and less frequently, the larger 3 bedrooms.....most of the larger
units were purchased by single seniors (who had lots of equity in their
home).  

My advice for attracting families (with children):  affordable homes.
