ER, it’s just that your ardor for SantaLuz is a bit “over the top” at times. As you can surmise, kids actually really and truly “grow up” in ALL areas of the county. They really and truly have a safe clean environment and parents with actual REAL MONEY, even wealthy parents. Their public schools really and truly are FINE. Yes, even if they don’t attend schools within the (now heavily indebted) PUSD.
No, the typical buyer in SD does not have race cars, horses or yachts. But there are many more of these types of buyers shopping in the over $1M range, which is the price range you would seek if you decided to sell your residence. Buyers everywhere are at all “stations in life.” They don’t necessarily have babies, toddlers or school-age children living with them. As you must know, some buyers have never had children and don’t want any. The nuclear family with children is but a fraction of RE buyers (don’t really know the exact percentage but would guess that it declines in each successive higher-priced tier and is also smaller for older areas).
There are many, many properties in the county of SD which are on 1/2 to 1-1/2 AC comparably valued to your residence which serve various types of buyers’ needs better than yours (vehicle pkg, workshop, citrus grove, ocean view, historical, proximity to SD, etc).
There’s nothing wrong with where you live but it is not the be all and end all for EVERYONE. It is the right place for those buyers who seek a tightly controlled environment. And there’s nothing wrong with that, either 🙂
