It is with a very heavy heart that I say this but if you are willing to consider Escondido you have two options. First get your head examined. You obviously have some emotional issues that need professional care. Two look in Temecula. In the price range you are looking at its not even a comparison at this point. Temecula will offer far better value.
Of course there are other factors to consider, like how far you are willing to commute, but just based on desire to own and your price range, I’d say Temecula, or Ramona are your best bets.
East Lake is newer, but you should try commuting down Telegraph Canyon rd at 7:30 on a Monday before you make any offers. I’d also recommend trying to find a non-chain decent restaurant anywhere near there, good luck.
