[quote=bearishgurl]A first-time buyer (“FTB”) or “former homedebtor in recovery” could possibly get an accepted offer on a single family home in SD County for $350K to $400K. It may be smallish (1000-1400 sf) and may need a little work for habitability, but nonetheless, it is located in SD County vs. RIV County. There is a HUGE difference between the two counties (in the absence of considering age and condition of a SFR listing).

The answer is simple: school districts. TVUSD was recently ranked as one of the best school districts in California.

There are relatively few school districts in San Diego county that can compare favorably to TVUSD. And for the ones that do, most can’t afford to live in the district.
It’s the sacrifice parents make to be in a high quality school district like TVUSD.
Not to mention the excellent athletic activities and numerous fields/parks that the city provides.
It’s a big part of the reason I rented my house for $1750 in 3 days.
