I will say the same thing to you that I say to anyone and everyone locating or relocating to San Diego, that is, come and rent. If you like, rent in Mira Mesa for 6 months, that would give you a great way to learn about the area. Have you picked up an engineering job in the Sorrento Valley? Just a wild guess… anyways there are a couple of regulars who post here that live in Mira Mesa or have lived in Mira Mesa, Asianautica and Nostradamus, both good posters. I find that most of the negative postings about Mira Mesa comes from people who do not live there. I am not saying they are right or wrong but I have also lived in Mira Mesa, I rented for about 15 months from late 05 to early 07 and I had no problems there. I am not so sure it is fair to project my taste on others. Would I like Solana Beach? Yeah… do I have to settle for Scripps? Most likely yeah… Anyways again, I would urge you to try renting for a little while. What could it hurt? It is not like the housing market will run away on you or anything.
