Excellent info, thanks Bearishgurl, Sduuuude, UCGal! Many thanks. I am convinced we will give at least a good look. Commute would be so easy to La Jolla from there. And we could find a decent home for our price range.

I got it about the retired people, and I am absolutely fine with that. I have young kids but hopefully there will be some kids on the block.

I’ve looked online at some listings in the nicer areas and most like a good value on paper. plus no HOA or MR. And I like that there are no cookie-cutter houses. Of course, nothing beats seeing them in person.

the biggest issue remains schools, we’ll either go with Muir or others, public ones, that decent (which are???), or hopefully choice in La Jolla or UC schools.

Also,I noticed that the inventory is not so bad, compared with for example, Rancho Penasquitos.
