Tucked away in the hills of southwest Lompoc is the charming HOA community, Foothill Estates. The community is broken up into enclaves of duplex style units, with two units attached at one common wall. They have two car garages, and larger back yards than you get in other HOA communities. Amenities include a community pool, spa, and poolhouse. There are 2 and 3 bedroom models which range from about 1100 to 1300 square feet in size. The monthly HOA fees are $145 per month. But what you get for the money can’t be beat. The views from this development are breathtaking and unmatched, and if you have a large dog you can’t beat having a decent size yard versus the patio that most comparably priced condo units offer.

Prices of many condos are finally well beneath $100,000 in Santa Maria and Lompoc, which make some condos a good option for investors even with the added expense of a monthly condo fee. There have been some 2 bedroom condos listed as low as $59,000. If you compare a home in the local area that you can purchase for $100,000, you would be looking at a much older home or a smaller cottage with limited rental value and appeal. Everything on the exterior of the home is typically covered by the condo association, cutting down on the responsibility for landlords.
