[quote=zk]Torrey hills is nice. You might also want to consider the communities immediately adjacent to the east. Carriage Run has some (relatively) affordable homes, and they’re almost new. Steeplechase is a bit older, but nice. It’s an extra 2 or 3 minutes from SV to Steeplechase (compared to torrey hills) but it’s 2 or 3 minutes closer to the middle school and the high school.

Busy is a relative term, but I’d say CM road is pretty noisy and busy.[/quote]

I hope I don’t offend anyone here but imho.

I don’t like steepchase, I can’t stand palacio…And I wouldn’t be caught dead living in sea ridge.

here’s a guide to the communities in the area

BTW: Torrey Hills technically is not Carmel Valley. It has access to the same schools in the same districts, but technically speaking Carmel Valley is the area north of 56.
