Caly good for you for not buying…Hang in there since you don’t HAVE to buy, then don’t buy. I agree with AN that there are some rentals that you may be able to find in the 2K and slightly above range. I know it is super frustrating. Last year we rented a 4 bedroom home on Buckwheat in Rancho Penasquitos for 2200….The Wateridge Circle area is nice, I am literally looking at it outside the window where I am sitting at right now. It is also very close to UCSD as opposed to living in Rancho Penasquitos. We paid 2500 for the home on Cheryl Ridge but that was a larger home in a bit nicer neighborhood. It was a 4/3.
AN – The homes I was referring to were the ones that have the backyard literally on Calle Cristobal. Most of those tracts just to the north of Calle Cristobal have a main street that runs parallel to Calle Cristobal with feeder streets that are cul de sacs to the canyon. I went to a listing appt a few weeks back on one of the homes where the backyard backed to Calle Cristobal (it was north of Calle Cristobal but right on the street that ran parallel to it) and it was noticeable even in the home. Even just across the street it was much better.
In the Cheryl Ridge home we were on a cul de sac street so there was no problema at all. If the window was open yeah you could catch some noise but it was okay.
In the Scripps Ranch home we are renting now it is blissfully quiet but I have about a 20 minute longer commute… doh!
