GN,
None of those homes are close to $1.5M nor are they huge. The first two are essentially in Escondido. One is a glorified tract house in Cielo (La Orquidia). The last is on a 7,000 sq ft lot. Sure you found a couple houses under $2M in the 92067 ZIP which I know can be found but they are on the fringe of RSF and certainly arent huge houses. Find me a real RSF home on a couplle acres and we can talk.
Personally I would never even consider SEH but I can imagine the view from up there which I’m sure is nothing short of jaw dropping. I also know the builders work and they build a very nice home.
If you are a Physician with an office in San Marcos by CSU with privliges at Palomar Pomerado this would be a prime location for you. If you were a business owner with a successful business on RSF in San marcos this would be a prime location for you. Maybe not for you GN but for someone they will be.
