formersandiegan, I live in North County coastal and I just hate it (relatively) compared to the central area you mentioned. Even if I worked in the North County, I would still live in central San Diego. I would rather remodel a Bay Park home than buy a new house in Carmel Valley. Just my opinion.
You hate north county? Why?
If you don’t mind living in a shoebox with 360 views of neighboreds Carmel Valley might be the place.. are you used to crowded living?
I grew up on alot of property and condo living won’t ever work for me…. once you experience life without neighboreds and HOA you won’t want to go back! Ok that’s just personal opinion.. but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to live in a cardboard condo.. too loud, no privacy, no yard, and all of the other condos block the sun!
PS. I would reccomend staying away from the coast.. coast living is the most overrated type IMO.. it’s hardly ever sunny, and there’s usually a damp salty humidity around.. this is coming from someone who has lived on coast, and regularly boats, scuba dives and swims in the ocean!
