[quote=cato1974]Thanks for the quick response all… one question:
do you mean that going from Del Sur to Fallbrook will be worse than going from the Northern edge of SD or vice versa. I’m assuming vice versa. 🙂
We will also look in Temecula, but prefer the schools in the PUSD or even the San Dieguito district.
Is carlsbad that close? google maps has me at 35 min from Carlsbad to Fallbrook.. essentially the same time from the Del Sur/Black Mountain area.[/quote]
I know I’ll hear a lot of disagreement about this, but I would seriously consider stretching to the San Dieguito Union HS District (either in the Solana Beach or DMUSD elementary school district) if schools are a big deal for you. Poway is also good but the bond issue (mentioned in another post) will become more significant as the years go on. We moved from SD (DMUSD/SDUHD) to the east coast for about 5 yrs and then moved back to SD. We were very familiar with SD, having lived here for over 10 years, and we considered a lot of different locations such as 4S ranch, etc. (which is Poway) but eventually chose a home in the same district we had moved from. The drive is an issue – so it’s something you’ll have to consider. Also, it’s probably a bigger issue once your kids get to middle school (which is part of the high school district for SDUHSD) and high school.
