I remember checking out some of the Del Mar Highlands model homes back in early 1986. This was Carmel Valley way back before that name came about… it was considered to be Del Mar or even North City West on the maps. I was in 5th grade and we had just moved to San Diego from the Midwest. I recall that an attached townhouse or duplex was $109,000. That seemed way out of reach for us at the time. But I guess it would have been a great investment. 🙁 I’ve thought about that many times since then.
