If your’re planning to buy in Carmel V. You need to sacrifice sq footage for a better location.

1.3m for around 3000sqft in a good location. That’s most likely doable. Anything that is larger above that goes up in price, anything that deviates from the prime locations goes down in price. Prime locations center around Ocean Air and Sage Canyon access. It’s just how pricing works. You can try the community called Santa Barbara that’s I believe is further north … Pricing there is slightly better.[/quote]

That’s also assuming you care about having access to sage canyon or ocean air. I personally don’t think it makes that much of a difference among the dmusd schools and it has more to do with your own kids abilities and parental involvement. But others will insist that they must send their kids to ocean air or sage. The scores from the caasp were all really good, with sage and ocean air on top. The difference wasnt that noticeable among other schools on the district. So I guess it depends on how anal you and your wife want to be. My kid scored roughly the same as any other Asian kid in the district at sage and ocean air. Then again, we spend a considerable about of time on education outside of school too at home. She does considerably worse at math competitions done by noolan. But I think that’s more because she inherited my genes on that. I never did well with those math competition/puzzle questions. Even to this day.
