Montecido Portola Hills

As a previous resident of this complex and as a top Realtor for the area, I find this complex to be very appealing for homeowners and potential home buyers. In general the community is very well kept, Accell Property Management does an excellent job maintaining the community and the HOA fees are very reasonable. Amenities include:  
  • Pool
  • Spa 
  • Tot Lot 
  • BBQ
  • Clubhouse
  • Workout Room  
The four floor-plans are very well designed and whether you are a single home buyer  or a family, there is a good selection of styles for you to choose from. Below is a breakdown of the models:
  • Masestro Carriage Unit: 2-Bedroom, 2-Bath, 1015 sq.ft with Balcony Yard
  • Bellaza Townhome: 2-Bedroom, 2.5-Bath, 1052 sq. ft. with Patio Yard
  • Terrosa Townhome: 3-Bedroom, 3-Bath, 1216 sq.ft. with Patio Yard
  • Galante Townhome: 3-Bedroom, 3-Bath, 1303 sq.ft with Patio Yard
Overall these units are light, bright, open floor plans with fireplaces. The 3 bedroom models have 3 baths, with a downstairs bedroom, both features that are rare to find. All homes have either a 1-car attached garage with the largest Galante model offering a 2-car attached garage. 

One of the nicest features of many of these homes is the size of yard offered as well as the views.  Depending on the location within the complex, many of these homes offer spectacular views.


At the time of publishing homes in Montecido are selling between $350,000 to $500,000.   Below is a snapshot of what has sold this year in the complex.

Where are all the houses for Sale?

If you are thinking about a move, downsizing, relocating and have been searching for a home, you are probably thinking "where are all the homes for sale" isn't this time of year that we would see them? The answer to the later is yes!  May is typically the busiest month in real estate.  However with over 80% of homeowners refinancing to the low rates over the last couple of years, homeowners are in no hurry to make a move into a higher rate.  Is this you?   But life happens and buyer demand is pretty strong in most price points.  One reason... is the equity position homeowners have.  Just released over 67% of homeowners homes are either paid off or they have less than 50% remaining on their mortgage.  That means there is a ton of equity in the market!  In addition, buyers have come to terms with interest rates.  They understand they can refinance later.
