FILLMORE, CA, January 16, 2012 (Press-News.org) Construction has begun at Brookfield Homes' newest community, Sago at The Foothills in Carlsbad. The builder will debut Sago's three model homes in March 2012.

Sago will offer two-story homes ranging from approximately 1,750 to 2,050 square feet with three to four bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Priced from the mid $400,000's, Sago will offer affordable yet amenity-rich housing to those wanting to live in Carlsbad without the high price tag.

Located three miles from the coast at The Foothills in Carlsbad, Sago has four floor plans to choose from, all of which include courtyards for outdoor living space. All Sago homeowners will have access to The Foothills' resort-like Swim Club, equipped with a pool, paddle tennis courts, fireplace, barbecue and more.
