It is a lot to pay in Santee. There are not many in the 800k to over a million range. There are a lot more homes in Lakeside in that price range, than in Santee. Though Santee is much more upscale in appearance, with much more to offer. With a far better commute.
I think that the City of Santee is trying to change that. In the local papers, I’ve read that they were trying to get more move up housing in the area. The majority of new homes in Santee are for Mc Mansions, priced @ around 500k or higher. They don’t seem to be adding anything for the first time buyer.
