MercuryNews.com | 08/28/2006 | Sales of homes brisk despite jail
When construction is done on the new Terra Serena development in Milpitas, the gated community will boast almost 700 housing units surrounded by parks, swimming pools and tennis courts.It will sit next to another gated community: the Elmwood Correctional Facility, a Santa Clara County jail.
Nonetheless, buyers are flocking to the $700,000-plus homes, $500,000-plus townhomes and $400,000-plus condos at Terra Serena — even though their neighbors down the street aren’t exactly the Joneses.
“It’s not like it’s San Quentin,” townhome owner Joaquin Ramirez said.
Ah… nothing like the revised expectations of living in the Bay Area.
