55+ Homes For Sale in Del Sur, San Diego

Del Sur is home to two gated 55+ communities — Avante at Del Sur and Auberge at Del Sur. Both offer resort-style active adult living inside a beautifully master-planned neighborhood with walkable shopping, parks, and easy highway access. Jean and Ken Tritle have been active in both communities since they opened and know the floor plans, HOA structures, and resale patterns in each.

Del Sur is a master-planned community in the Black Mountain Ranch area of San Diego (ZIP 92127), bordered by Rancho Bernardo to the east and Rancho Santa Fe to the west. The neighborhood is known for its well-designed streetscapes, interconnected parks and trails, and a strong sense of community — and it sits within the highly regarded Poway Unified School District.

For active adults 55 and older, Del Sur offers something rare: two distinct gated communities within the same master plan, each with its own price point, home style, and character. Avante at Del Sur is the newer condo option, built 2018–2021, offering low-maintenance attached homes with resort amenities starting under $1 million. Auberge at Del Sur is the larger, more established community, built 2016–2018, with a mix of attached and single-family detached homes across three sub-neighborhoods ranging from $1.2M to nearly $3M. And because the surrounding Del Sur neighborhood is all-ages, adult children and grandchildren can live nearby in the same master-planned community — a setup Jean and Ken help families navigate regularly.

Jean and Ken Tritle have tracked every sale in both communities and have personally guided buyers through every floor plan at Avante since it opened. If you are researching Del Sur 55+ communities, Jean and Ken are happy to share what they know.

A Community Where Grandparents and Grandkids Can Both Put Down Roots

One of the questions Jean and Ken hear often from clients considering a move to San Diego is some version of this: “We want to be near our kids and grandkids, but we want our own space in a community designed for people our age.” Del Sur is one of the more compelling answers to that question in San Diego County.

The Del Sur master plan includes both gated 55+ communities — Avante and Auberge — and the surrounding all-ages Del Sur neighborhood in the same ZIP code. Adult children and their families can live in the all-ages homes right next door, with access to the same beautifully maintained parks, trails, and community gathering spaces. Meanwhile, grandparents enjoy the privacy, amenities, and active adult atmosphere of their own gated community just minutes away.

The surrounding Del Sur neighborhood sits within the Poway Unified School District — one of the most highly regarded school districts in San Diego County — which makes it an attractive option for families with school-age children. For grandparents who want to be close enough to help with school pickups, attend recitals, or simply have Sunday dinner without a long drive, Del Sur makes that genuinely easy.

The area also offers walkable shopping and dining, well-maintained community parks, and easy highway access — so both generations have what they need close by. Jean and Ken have helped families work through exactly this kind of move: finding the right fit in Avante or Auberge for the grandparents while the adult children look at all-ages homes nearby. They understand both sides of the transaction and are happy to help think through the timing, the logistics, and the right communities for each part of the family.

Avante vs Auberge — How They Compare

Avante at Del Sur is the newest gated 55+ community in Del Sur, offering attached condos in both single-story and two-story configurations — including units with private in-home elevators, making it an excellent choice for buyers who want step-free access both now and as needs change in the future. All homes include two-car garages. Community amenities include a pool, spa, firepit, BBQ area, clubhouse, and fitness center.

Jean and Ken have closely tracked sales activity at Avante since the community opened, giving them a granular understanding of which floor plans sell fastest, how condition and floor level affect price, and what buyers in this community specifically look for. The average sold price has consistently been in the high $900Ks to low $1Ms, with homes typically going under contract quickly when correctly priced — one of the fastest-moving 55+ communities in San Diego County. See the market snapshot below for current figures.

Auberge at Del Sur is Del Sur’s larger and more established 55+ community, offering three distinct sub-neighborhoods to suit different preferences and budgets:

Jean and Ken are a husband-and-wife real estate team whose work centers on one thing: San Diego’s premier 55+ communities. This is not a sideline for them. It is what they do, day in and day out. Jean is a licensed Real Estate Broker and Realtor®. Ken is a Realtor® and holds the SRES® designation — Senior Real Estate Specialist — which reflects specific training in the financial, legal, and personal dimensions of real estate for adults 55 and older. Together they have spent well over a decade focusing exclusively on this segment of the San Diego market, and that sustained focus shapes everything about how they work.

Moving at this stage of life is different from any other move. It often involves letting go of a home where decades of memories live. It involves imagining what comes next — a new community, a new rhythm, a new chapter — and trusting that it will be good. It involves sorting through a great deal of information, much of it conflicting, and trying to make a decision that feels right rather than rushed. Jean and Ken understand all of this. They have sat at kitchen tables with clients who are not sure they are ready. They have answered the same questions patiently, many times over many months, because that is what the process actually looks like for most people at this stage. They do not rush it.

What seniors consistently say they value most in an agent is straightforward: someone who listens, someone who is honest even when the news is not what they hoped for, someone who explains things clearly without condescension, someone who is reachable when a question comes up, and someone who genuinely cares about the outcome — not just the commission. Jean and Ken hear this because they ask. And they have built their practice around it. Calls and texts get returned the same day. Emails are answered thoughtfully. If something changes, you hear about it directly from them, not through a notification or a portal.

Their client relationships do not end at the closing table. Jean and Ken stay in touch. They check in. They remember. Many of their clients have become friends — people they see at community events, people who call when they have a question unrelated to real estate, people who refer a family member years later not because they were asked to, but because they wanted to. That is where repeat business comes from, and it is what makes this work genuinely fulfilling rather than transactional.

If you are thinking about Avante or Auberge — whether that is a month from now or a year or two from now — Jean and Ken are a good place to start. There is no pressure to decide anything. Just an honest conversation with people who know these communities well and care about helping you find the right path.

Prices and market conditions change. The figures above are updated quarterly and reflect recent activity in both communities. For a current, specific picture of what your home is worth — or what a particular floor plan is selling for right now — the most reliable source is a direct conversation with Jean and Ken.
