[quote=earlyretirement][quote=cvmom]I would say the only reason to buy in CV over other areas is the quality of the public schools. I can’t speak for the elementary schools but I am very impressed with the middle and high schools. There are a lot of very academically-focused students, which has its plusses and minuses, but I think it is mostly plusses.

As soon as our kids are out of school, we plan to move out of CV. Not huge fans of soulless suburbia…but we think it has been the right choice to raise our kids.[/quote]

I agree cvmom. I think the main reason why many families buy in that area are the wonderful schools in the area. That’s what got us even looking in that area is the school system.

The weather is pretty darn good as well plus you are just minutes from the beaches in Del Mar. That is a big plus as well.[/quote]

Yes, the weather is pretty good–usually don’t get the fog of Del Mar but also don’t get the heat of inland. But for us, we are really not beach people, only go a few times a year. Pathetic…
