An API score if 892 and API rank of 9 out of 10 is not very good?

The schools are top notch (might not be the best, but it is top notch). I’d say A average (9 out of 10) is top notch. The houses are on Carmel Valley Rd and they did say the zip is 92128, which is not Carmel Valley. Based on their website: http://www.davidsoncommunities.com/communities/miraval-at-torrey-highlands/, they did say at Torrey Highlands, not at Carmel Valley. So, what’s the problem? How are they misleading you?

I hear those greasers at Torrey Highlands are real lowlifes.

But in the same video, when they show the sign of the community, it clearly said Miraval in Torrey Highland. So, it’s seem like it’s just a miss informed lady.

For elementary, you will have to go to willow grove

Funny the way you word this. “You HAVE to go to Willow Grove”. LOL.

Willow Grove is one of the newest and highest rated Elementary schools in the area. It’s very nice. There can be waiting lists to get in here.

Heck, even for preschool last year our daughter didn’t get to go there. There was a waiting list about 30 kids long to get in here.

We feel very fortunate that our daughter gets to go to preschool here next year. We know several parents (including neighbors) that didn’t get in for pre-school.

I don’t think they are being misleading if they are giving the zip code and not saying the school district is something else.

When we were looking at houses last year we saw several in Carmel Valley and honestly we weren’t impressed. Why anyone would pay $1 million + on homes in developments like Pacific Highlands Ranch boggles my mind. Just was NOT impressed at all. (We ended up buying in Santaluz and LOVE LOVE LOVE it).

While the area of Carmel Valley is generally convenient, we didn’t like the high density nature of the area with so many apartments and townhouse complexes. And most developments have houses packed on top of one another.

In many houses you had 4 or 5 neighbors directly looking into your house.

For anyone that has kids, I don’t think there is any way to be “easily confused”. All the parents I know when they are buying a house look, plug in the address first to see what school district the house is in before considering it.

Anyone else notice they had to change the name of this development from Miraval to Maricel because someone else had the name trademarked?

You would have thought they would have checked before naming the development. Oh well…

Oops…

Is there a trade mark search engine? Just wondering… And does miraval mean anything? In Spanish? Italian?[/quote]

From one of the records:
“MIRAVAL” is a colloquial contraction of the Spanish translation of “VALLEY VIEW”.

Miraval is actually protected as a service mark, not a trademark. Don’t know how they can enforce it, as the real estate companies are selling real estate, not services ( but I’m sure an argument could be made).
