DH is more down to earth, less pretension, lower home prices, less mello roos, less HOA, less investors. Your neighbors in DH could be teachers, firemen, janitors and even garbage truck drivers. SEH is nicer, newer, cookie cutter and your neighbors are more likely to be investors, middle income people who bought 4-5 years ago, upper income families. You will find quite a few 30 something fake blonde women who drive high end Lexus SUVs paid for with home equity loans in SEH. You will see them around town with the ‘SEH’ bumper stickers, clearly indicating to all that they live in this prestigious, small town community and not in the city of San Marcos. In DH you are more likely to find a few beat up cars in driveways, and even a couple campers parked on the streets. SEH will not allow any of these things, nor will your neighbors who are most concerned about the value of their home than your friendship. Overall, there are nice people in each place, but generalizations are always useful and that is what I am providing you.
