[quote=barnaby33]It is with a very heavy heart that I say this but if you are willing to consider Escondido you have two options. First get your head examined. You obviously have some emotional issues that need professional care. Two look in Temecula. In the price range you are looking at its not even a comparison at this point. Temecula will offer far better value.

I’ll second all of that. I grew up in Escondido and just closed on a beautiful place in Temecula (for $250k-ish as it happens). It’s 20 minutes from the 79 to the 78 and so worth it.
