Short answer: Santa Lucia should be read in two parts: the traditional barrio and modern options such as Privada Santa Lucia. Buyers should distinguish whether they are comparing barrio life, an existing home, a lot, presale, or a newer home with controlled access.

Barrio Santa Lucia
Barrio Santa Lucia belongs in the traditional Valladolid area conversation. It can interest local families, buyers from other Mexican states, and international buyers who want a residential area with local identity and reasonable access to the center.
As with other barrios, the exact street matters. Review noise, shade, ventilation, parking, services, street safety, CFE, internet, and documents.
Privada Santa Lucia and newer housing
Privada Santa Lucia responds to a different search: newer construction, controlled access, internal rules, maintenance, amenities, or more predictability than an older house. It should not be mixed with the barrio as if they were the same decision.
For a private development, ask about fees, delivery, services, building rules, warranties, common areas, administration, and contract terms. Also compare gated communities and new residential areas.
How to decide
If you want traditional life and an existing home, start with the barrio. If you want newer construction, parking, rules, and less renovation, compare the privada. In both cases, review documents, total cost, internet, and CFE before reserving.
