SAN DIEGO, CA, April 14, 2011 (Press-News.org) Rockrose at The Foothills by Brookfield Homes topped the list as the best selling detached new home neighborhood in Carlsbad for Q1 in 2011, according to The New Housing Monitor of San Diego County.

With 11 sales, the builder sold an average of nearly one home per week, exceeding the second top-selling builder by 37 percent. In response, Brookfield will release a new phase of four homes on Saturday, April 16. Situated on large lots, home sites span from 6,281to 8,934 square feet.

"Buyers are really responding to the eco-savvy features, floor plans and community amenities at Rockrose," says Lora Heramb, vice president of sales and marketing for Brookfield Homes. "There's nothing else like it in Carlsbad."

Priced from the high $500,000s, Rockrose homes range from 2,116 to 3,875 square feet with three to four bedrooms. Currently, Rockrose buyers are eligible for up to $38,000 in combined Spring Sale price reductions, upgrades and incentives, and a low tax rate of 1.21 percent.
