“Also, looking for recommendations for other San Diego neighborhoods that offer city, bay, ocean or mountain views (safe neighborhood and easy commute to city) with house prices under $850K.”

I echo FSD’s recommendation to take a look at Bay Park and Bay Ho, ie: West Clairemont. There are some great streets up there with some pretty tremendous views. You are alot closer to the coast so the ocean/bay views can be spectacular, you get cool ocean breezes, etc. About 10 minutes to downtown. I think you could do pretty well in $850K range and even better next year if you can wait as prices continue to pull back.
Another option is to take a look at the Mt streets in Clairemont – I have been in a few on canyons with excellent canyon views, just not quite the same panorama as you will find on the western hills.
