I am not in love with Carmel valley per say .. It is just that it is hard to find a large 5 bedroom house that is relatively new with good access to freeways that is relatively coastal for the 1.5 range…Also I dont like point loma because it is in the San DIego Unified school district and you have to put up with busing and their stupid liberal policies that dumb things down toward the mean….
You could live in a nice area like point loma or misson hills and your kids would go to school with kids of low life parents..(dont mean to be mean but it is sort of true)….
I want to avoid the whole inland corridor like Poway, Scipps Ranch etc (too far from work)…So the choices are limited- that’s why I focus on Carmel valley…Just a compromise..IF i were single I would be renting and partying downtown!
Even in La jolla you can’t get a 4000 sq ft newer house for 1.5….Am I right??? I am not a real estate pro like most people here…..
thanks again fat-lazy and justbought for your good info.
