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 clubhouse. 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.
