As I mentioned before, I’m renting a 1700 sf 4br with big backyard in PQ for $2100/month. Why would I want to pay $2000 for a 1100-1400 sf 3br house in MM without a backyard and with worse schools?
Most prices you see on Craigslist are wishing prices, no one in their right mind is going to pay that much.
It would take me 15 minutes to drive to UCSD (56 to 5). The commute from Mira Mesa by car would actually be _longer_ (I’d have to take city streets, it could take 10 minutes just to cross Golden Triangle). Much of MM isn’t served by buses. Neither MM nor PQ is a very good option for UCSD students, in my opinion.
we found a 2BR condo for just under $1800 and we count ourselves lucky.
Again, right now on Craigslist there are 25 listings of 2BR condos in UTC below $1700. For $1950, you can even get a 3BR:
