There are 3 and 4 bedroom plans, each with the bedrooms upstairs and the main living space and half bath downstairs. Units have a patio, and a balcony off the master suite. Monthly association dues range from about $220 – $250 per month.

Although not a gated community, Las Brisas offers a private setting for those who desire relative seclusion. There are two entrances into Las Brisas and the streets curve into an artful collection of cul-de-sacs and private parks. Importantly, there are no thoroughfares so traffic cannot cut through the community. The location of the community is convenient for those who are commuting as you are only a short skip to Highway 101's Santa Maria Way exit/onramp. One story and two story plans between 1100 square feet and 1800 square feet are offered with concrete tile roofs and two car garages. The lots are smaller with some exception here and there; but you definitely have enough room to keep Fido happy without having to spend your entire Saturday on yard work.
Short sales dominate the Santa Maria and Orcutt CA market. Simply put, short sales are sales where the owner owes more than the house is currently worth. Currently, 50% of the active listings in Santa Maria and Orcutt are short sales. However, 60% of the homes sold in the past 30 days are bank owned homes (REOs), and only 10% of sold homes in the last month were short sales.
