I saw this post but I didn’t respond to it because it is hard to try to answer these kinds of posts. I say that because it is so much of a matter of personal preference you know what I am saying?
I mean, all I can really say is that if it were me and I worked at Camp P, I think I would go for a Carlsbad/Encinitas home. Why? Well for one thing I grew up on the coast and have been along the coast most of my life. The past few years living in PQ, Mira Mesa, and now Scripps have been the furthest east I have ever been and am none to thrilled about it… Yet once you have kids I have found that pretty much everything I do is to help promote a thier development. So a decent size house but with a big lot in decent school districts is my goal. Not being happy with MR fees and homes that are close together has all but eliminated Carmel Valley… 4S is to far out for me and again, MR fees are a nogo for me. Ideally Solana Beach and some of the older properties near Del Mar Heights would work for me but I don’t have the coin. University City is okay but the lots are to small for me. Poway works for my wife but I am not thrilled about it… Encinitas or Carlsbad may work for me but I work in Sorrento Valley for engineering and service the entire county for real estate so I need to kind of be somewhat central… So there ya go… Yet what I need and want has nothing to do with you right? If I did work in Camp P though I think I would be partial to Encinitas and Carlsbad like I said before. Could your money stretch like 2-3 times as far being out in Temecula? Yepp… for sure. Even Fallbrook is kind of cool. I have a listing up there right now… Very nice comunity but again, not for me… a little to far out there. I REALLY like Cardiff, specially the west of 5 part but again… cannot afford it… There is just SO much for you to choose from up in north county. Maybe when you transfer down here you can rent for a year and feel it out?
Anyways there are alot of Temecula posters here and everyone seems to speak well of it so it may work for ya…not for me though. Like you the next purchase I make will be for the kids so I will be there for about 18 years…. then it will be wifey and I heading west…
