Like your thread name … and a running route or bicycle tour is the best way to get a feel for an area. I was looking at San Elijo Hills (Westcliffe) only from a paper/internet/geographical search – as we are in the early process of a home & area search. Geographically this area appears great – just North of RSF and South of Carlsbad, close enough to the ocean for temperature moderation, high enough on the hill to catch the breeze, great freeway excess, proximity to services but still distinct enough on it’s own. Ok … RSF it is not nor a Carlsbad – but for the price range and with the bear market still on the way down … maybe in 1-2 decades it could be Carlsbad or better??? What of the builder?
What of the “planned community” – still going thru or put on hold. From others on these post looks like tax & ownership fees are high.
