I was previewing homes for a client in LaPaloma yesterday and was totally amazed by the variety of gorgeous homes with incredible mountain views that were available for sale. LaPaloma is in the heart of the foothills, on a world class golf course and adjacent to the upscale Westin LaPaloma resort in the heart of the Foothills.  There was even one  patio home priced at $399,900 with amazing mountain views; it was only 1,434 sq feet  but had a two car garage.  Others I previewed were priced in the $400 and $500 thousands.  I have never seen such variety and reasonably priced homes on the market there in the past three years.  This gated community is one of the most-sought after communities for empty nesters and second home owners; the schools are amongst the best in Arizona so there are some families living there as well.
