However, the HS for Tierrasanta is (Junipero) Serra HS, perhaps contributing to the confusion here.[/quote]My bad, Essbee. I DO know a family residing in SM who is sending their kid to Serra but that may very well be because Kearny is on the NCLB list so they have a choice.
Essbee, you grew up in San Carlos (92119), no? Can you suggest any streets there to the OP which have ~8000 sf lots and/or lots with rear access which would likely sell for <$700K today? What about around Cowles Mtn? I'm only vaguely familiar with this area and know it a little better east of Lake Murray Blvd (bordering on LM).
