Everyone pretty much captured it well. I lived on Cheryl Ridge, north of Calle Cristobal and paid in the rental range that AN mentioned. The home was decent and we were in a cul de sac. Of the 9 homes (I think) in the cul de sac, one of them was a rental with 4 cars in front of it. No problems to speak of. Calle Cristobal is noisy and there are usually a few accidents a year from people racing on it. However we didnt have a problem with the noise where we lived and I am really sensitive to noise in a big way. The quality of the homes are okay, not great, not crappy, at least the newer ones built after 1990. Yes the school district is the issue most people have. Overall it is not a bad area IMO. Of course some people here will badmouth it and others will not. We used to go to the park at the end of Camino Ruiz ALOT as it is a nice family park. When I worked in the tech center it was awesome driving to work in 5 minutes as well. I know the area there very well, almost as good as AN so if you do have questions just post em and I will be glad to try to answer them.
