Auberge at Del Sur: The Highest Price Per Square Foot in Del Sur
A gated 55 and better community of 196 single level homes built by CalAtlantic in 2016 and 2017. Twenty nine closings since 2022 at a median of $907 per square foot. Here is what that means if you own one.
Auberge at Del Sur is a gated, 55+ age restricted community of 196 homes inside Del Sur, San Diego 92127, built by CalAtlantic Homes in 2016 and 2017. CalAtlantic was acquired by Lennar in 2018. It is organized into three collections: The Cottages at 1,276 to 1,843 square feet, The Villas at 1,604 to 2,067 square feet across 74 homes, and Summer House at 2,208 to 2,925 square feet. Homes run two to four bedrooms with two to four baths, a two car garage, and the primary bedroom on the ground floor. Residents have private use of The Club, an activities and social center of roughly 10,000 square feet with a heated pool and dedicated lap lanes, fitness center, library, pickleball and bocce courts, and outdoor fire features. Twenty nine homes have closed here since February 2022 at a median of $1,500,000, ranging from $975,000 to $2,900,000, at a median of $907 per square foot, which is the highest price per square foot of any neighborhood in Del Sur.

What Makes Auberge Different
The price per foot. Auberge has the smallest homes in Del Sur and the highest price per square foot in Del Sur. The median across 29 closings is $907, with four sales above $1,040 and a high of $1,097.
For comparison, the estate neighborhoods in the same master plan trade in the $600 to $835 range on homes two to three times the size. Buyers here are not paying for square footage. They are paying for single level living, a gate, and a club they can walk to.
The Club. Roughly 10,000 square feet of private amenity is reserved for residents, with a heated pool with dedicated lap lanes and spa, a fitness center, a library and multipurpose room, pickleball and bocce courts, a BBQ area, a dog park, and outdoor seating with fire features.
Most Del Sur neighborhoods share community amenities with thousands of households. Auberge residents have their own, plus full access to the wider Del Sur system and the Ranch House.
The single level. Every home in Auberge is built around ground floor living with the primary bedroom down, and a portion of the plans add a second story only for optional loft or guest space. That is the feature buyers at this stage of life search for first, and it is the one thing a two story Del Sur home can never be renovated into.
The Homes of Auberge
CalAtlantic built Auberge in three collections in 2016 and 2017, 196 homes in total, and the neighborhood is sold out. The overall recorded home size range is 1,276 to 2,923 square feet with two to four bedrooms, two to four baths, primary bedrooms on the ground floor and two car garages.
CalAtlantic was acquired by Lennar in 2018, so newer marketing material attributes the community to Lennar. Summer House, the largest collection, won the National Association of Home Builders award for Best 55+ Detached Home in the 1,701 to 2,400 square foot category in 2017.
The three Auberge collections
The Cottages: four floor plans from 1,276 to 1,843 square feet, two or three bedrooms and two baths, one and two story layouts, sharing landscaped motor courts. Builder material describes this collection as attached, while MLS records commonly code these homes as detached. Verify the ownership structure and the attachment status on any specific parcel.
The Villas: 74 single family homes from 1,604 to 2,067 square feet, two or three bedrooms and two to three baths, offered in Spanish, Monterey and Western Ranch exterior styles, with spacious great rooms, large kitchen islands and covered outdoor living
Summer House: the largest collection, 2,208 to 2,925 square feet, three or four bedrooms and two to four baths, private driveways, open plans with gourmet kitchens, dual primary suites on select models, and the best view exposure in the community
Single level living across every collection, with the primary bedroom on the ground floor
Open great room plans with gourmet kitchens and large center islands, dual primary suites on select plans
Two car garages throughout
Low maintenance landscaping, with exterior and grounds maintenance covered differently depending on collection
Solar on a significant share of homes
Streets that make up Auberge: Auberge Circle and Lusardi Creek Lane.
Recent Closed Sales
Current Homes Sold in Auberge
These three homes closed within twenty five days of each other in August and September 2026, so the market they sold into was identical. The largest of the three earned the lowest price per square foot. That is not a coincidence, and it is the most important thing an Auberge seller needs to understand.

The most recent closing in Auberge and the second highest price per square foot on record here. Three bedrooms and 2,028 square feet built in 2016, brought to market on a value range of $1,995,000 to $2,199,000 and closed in seven days at $2,200,000, above the top of that range, at $1,085 per square foot. This is the plan that performs best in Auberge. Not the biggest, not the smallest, single level, and priced to start a conversation rather than end one.

The largest home in the entire Auberge sales record at 2,923 square feet, and the clearest proof that size works against you here. It launched at $2,495,000, took 94 days, and closed at $2,340,000, giving back $155,000 and landing at $801 per square foot. A home 895 square feet smaller sold eight days later for a higher price per foot and did it in seven days. Buyers in Auberge are not shopping for the most square footage. They are shopping for the right single level plan, and the largest plans have the smallest buyer pool in the community.

The smallest plan in Auberge at 1,276 square feet, two bedrooms, built in 2017. It listed at $1,150,000 and closed at $1,125,000 in 51 days, or $882 per square foot. Look at that number next to the 2,923 square foot home that closed two weeks later at $801. The smallest home in the community earned 10 percent more per foot than the largest one. Entry priced single level homes in a gated 55 and better community are the scarcest product in Del Sur, and the pricing reflects it.
Closed at 98% of list price
Three homes, three collections, twenty five days apart, and the price per square foot runs backwards against size: $1,085 on the 2,028 square foot home, $882 on the 1,276 square foot home, $801 on the 2,923 square foot home. Across all 29 Auberge closings the median is $907 per foot, and the four highest sales on record are all above $1,040. If you own a larger plan here, pricing off a neighbor's price per foot will cost you time and then money, which is exactly what happened to the 94 day listing above. The right method is to price against the same plan, in the same collection, then adjust for lot, view and condition. It's not the market, it's the marketing.

Del Sur amenity access carries through in full: neighborhood parks, eleven solar heated community pools, outdoor spas, an amphitheater, gardening plots, a dog park, picnic areas, playgrounds and roughly twelve miles of walking and biking trails, plus the Ranch House
Grocery, pharmacy, cafes and restaurants including Ralphs, CVS and World Market sit just outside the entrance, with Del Sur Town Center and 4S Ranch commercial nearby

Auberge Schools
Auberge sits inside Poway Unified School District boundaries, served by Del Sur Elementary, Design39Campus, Oak Valley Middle and Del Norte High. Auberge is age restricted, so the district matters here for a different reason than it does elsewhere in Del Sur. It supports the value of the land underneath the community and it drives the demand that keeps the surrounding neighborhoods trading strongly, which is what has carried Auberge to the highest price per square foot in the master plan.
Attendance boundaries and enrollment options change, so confirm current assignment with the district before relying on it.
HOA and Mello Roos in Auberge
Auberge carries a Del Sur master association assessment, a sub association assessment covering the gated entry and The Club, and Mello Roos through the community facilities district. The sub association amount and what it covers differ by collection, because The Cottages, The Villas and Summer House are maintained on different terms.
Published figures for Del Sur neighborhoods conflict constantly and vary by parcel, collection and assessment year. I pull the exact current numbers on any specific address before we price it or write on it. Call me at 619.987.6987.

The headline number in Auberge is $907 per square foot, the median across 29 closings since February 2022. That is the highest of any neighborhood in Del Sur, on the smallest homes in Del Sur. The market is also efficient: median 20 days on market, 98 percent of list on average, and 12 of the 27 fixed price listings closed at or above asking.
Auberge produced 12 closings in 2026, its busiest year on record, and the median sale price dropped to $1,485,000, the lowest annual median in the set. Values did not fall. Price per square foot in 2026 was $926, above the four year median.
What changed was the mix. More Cottages and Villas traded and fewer Summer House plans did, which pulled the median price down while the underlying value per foot held. If you own in Auberge and you saw a headline about Del Sur medians softening, that number was not about your house.
Based on 29 closed MLS sales in Auberge at Del Sur, San Diego 92127, from February 2022 through September 2026. Price per square foot ranged from $732 to $1,097 and days on market ranged from 0 to 210 days. Two listings used value ranges rather than fixed prices, so they are excluded from the sale to list figures. Reported by Alvin Newton, eXp Realty Luxury. Updated September 2026.
Selling a Home in Auberge
Auberge attracts a specific buyer looking for single level living inside a gated 55 and better community. I market to that buyer directly.
Who the buyer actually is
Local move down owners coming out of larger two story homes in Del Sur, Carmel Valley, 4S Ranch and Rancho Bernardo want single level living without leaving the area. Relocating buyers have often already decided on an age restricted community and are comparing Auberge against the small number of competing options in North County.
What the home competes against
Not the estate neighborhoods in Del Sur, which serve an entirely different buyer. Auberge competes against other 55 and better communities in the region and against the handful of single level homes that come up anywhere nearby. That is a short list, and it is why price per foot runs so high here.
How I market it
I use full production photography, aerial and video, a dedicated property site, direct outreach into my network of 2,500 plus luxury agents, and targeted placement in front of the move down buyer pool already shopping single level product in North County.
I am a Seniors Real Estate Specialist, which means I am equipped to handle the parts of a move down sale that are not the listing. I coordinate timing, downsizing, and work alongside adult children and advisors when that is what the family needs.
Pricing strategy
Price against the same plan in the same collection, then adjust for lot, view and condition. Pricing a Summer House plan off a Cottages price per foot, or the reverse, is the single most common mistake made here and it shows up in the data as a listing that sits past 90 days and then closes 6 percent under.
Auberge turns over more often than the estate neighborhoods, with roughly six to twelve closings a year, but the specific plan you want may only come up once or twice in that span.
How I get you in
I run direct owner outreach inside the community, work my agent network for pocket and pre market inventory, and set standing alerts by collection and by floor plan rather than just by price.
What to evaluate before writing
Which collection the home is in and how that changes the assessment and what it covers
The ownership structure on the smaller attached plans
Whether the lot is interior or on the open space perimeter
Single level versus a plan with a second story loft
Primary suite configuration and whether the home has dual suites
Solar ownership versus lease
The full assessment picture on that specific parcel
How I negotiate here
The data splits cleanly. Homes that launch correctly close in under three weeks at or near asking, and there is no discount available on those. Homes past 60 days are a different conversation entirely, and several in this data set closed 6 to 8 percent under list.
I read where a listing sits before we write and structure accordingly.
Auberge is a gated 55+ community on the southern edge of Del Sur, San Diego 92127, with homes on Auberge Circle and Lusardi Creek Lane, near Santaluz and 4S Ranch.
Is Auberge a 55 and over community?+
Yes. Auberge at Del Sur is an age restricted 55+ community, and that restriction is reflected in MLS records for the community. It operates under the Housing for Older Persons Act.

CalAtlantic Homes built Auberge in 2016 and 2017 across three collections, The Cottages, The Villas and Summer House, for a total of 196 homes. CalAtlantic was acquired by Lennar in 2018, so some marketing material credits Lennar. The community is sold out and trades as resale only.

Summer House is the largest collection at 2,208 to 2,925 square feet, with private driveways and the strongest view exposure. Summer House won the National Association of Home Builders award for Best 55+ Detached Home in its size category in 2017.
What amenities does Auberge have?+
Residents have private use of The Club, an activities and social center of roughly 10,000 square feet with a heated pool and spa, a fitness center, a library and multipurpose room, pickleball and bocce courts, a BBQ area and a dog park. Residents also have access to the wider Del Sur system, including eleven pools, outdoor spas, parks, an amphitheater, gardening plots, picnic areas, playgrounds, roughly twelve miles of trails and the Ranch House.
Is Auberge gated?+
Yes. Auberge is a gated, age restricted community inside the Del Sur master plan, with its own private amenity in addition to the wider Del Sur system.
Does Auberge have HOA and Mello Roos?+
Yes. Auberge carries a Del Sur master association assessment, a sub association assessment covering the gate and The Club, and Mello Roos through the community facilities district. Amounts and coverage differ by collection, so I pull the exact current figures on any specific address before pricing or offering.
Why is price per square foot so high in Auberge?+
Auberge has the smallest homes in Del Sur and the highest price per square foot in Del Sur, with a median of $907 and four sales above $1,040. Buyers are paying for single level living, a gated address, and a private club inside one of the region's strongest master planned communities, not for square footage.

The Auberge Agent for Single Level Luxury
Auberge is a neighborhood where the wrong comparison costs real money, because its three collections trade differently and the highest price per square foot belongs to the right plan rather than the largest home.
