    What’s the general opinion out there on Rancho San Diego area?

    I have seen some nice properties on Redfin that sold for over a million at the peak and recently sold in the high 600s.

    It’s proximity to La Mesa is attractive to me and the large lots are attractive – many over 1 acre.

    On the other hand, I don’t know the area well…anybody live out there and able to shed light on the upside and downside to living there?

    Any thoughts on the schools?

    We rent in Mission Hills now and haven’t ventured away from the area much but are attracted to the idea of having more space for the dog and kid, and being closer to work (La Mesa).

    My uninformed impression has always been its a retirement area of sorts. But then again I dont know.

    There is a noticible difference in lot sizes and square footage of houses in east county vs SD city. I own 5 rental houses in east county, all on either qtr or half acre. I have also owned houses in North Park on lot sizes of 3 to 5K. Very tight.
    Most families in RSD send their kids to Steel Canyon HS or Valhalla (highest API index in east county at 821). I have enjoyed my time living in RSD. It reaaly has a rural feeling with plenty of shopping, movie theaters, amenities etc. To me, more family oriented than retirement area? Not sure where that comment came from? There is also a higher concentration of Chaldeans in east county, than anywhere else in the county. There are a few persian palaces sprinkled thru-out. I like the mix of the population and over-all demographics. Good access to La Mesa and freeways too. A great place to raise a family.

    Thanx and as I said I dont really know. It was just my perception and had no basis of reality. I thought i was pretty clear on that.
