I’m thinking of buying something under 550K in one of three areas:
1. South Escondido somewhere off of Via Rancho Parkway either on the west or the east side. I like the one’s from the 1970’s with the big lots that make you feel like you’re almost in the country.
2. Rancho Penasquitos/Rancho Bernardo/Poway. Hopefully a bigger lot, but in these spots I’d sacrifice the lot size for location (I work in Sorrento Valley).
3. Scripps Ranch. An even bigger sacrifice of size for location. Don’t want to do it, but if it’s a good enough deal I could pull the trigger.
