Hi there, I am a south 4S resident. I like it very much here. We considered Scripps Ranch as well when we were househunting in 2012. We mostly liked the south of Pomerado area. However we were concerned about fire danger and possibly even uninsurability of some of the properties in that area. We were also concerned about traffic along Pomerado Road and our commute to the UTC area. It seem like any commute along surface streets thru Mira Mesa would be a nightmare, but it would also not be optimal to take 52 or 56.
I’m a little confused about your assertion that 4S and Del Sur are more inland compared to Scripps Ranch. Scripps Ranch is obviously east of 15, where as 4S and Del Sur are west of 15. Thus I would consider Scripps Ranch to be more inland. ??
As for the schools, I don’t know whether the schools in 4S and Del Sur are really considered “better” than SR, but I will say that they’re very good. The Mello Roos on the south side are less, and there are also some areas with more mature trees.
