joec, as I’ve said, Sky Ranch won’t be for everyone.
Trust me though when I say it is very safe up here, with lots of walking room.
Most criminals don’t like a community that has only 1 way in and 1 way out. It’s very easy to “trap” them and block off the exit.
You could actually block them off all the way over at the Graves/Prospect intersection!!
4S Ranch has actually had many home invasions after people go to work. I’ve heard this from people that live there. So many homes, so much traffic around the homes, who would notice…
I bring this up because crime is everywhere, but know that Sky Ranch is a safe community.
Also, talking about walking around. You would be amazed at how many people are walking around, jogging, pushing strollers, etc. There is a lot of flat road area up here for just that.
Also, Santee has a very low crime rate, despite how it “looks” in areas. Maybe because people are afraid the owners might shoot back!
Either way, you need to look at your situation and determine if it’s right for you. It was right for us, and when I say, we were skeptical too. I’m telling you the truth that we were. We even had a little buyer’s remorse at first, not sure if we made the right decision. But, I tell you, we are even happier today than when we first bought. Why? Because we realized all our concerns were just our own created fear, and we’ve also had more time to experience living up here. We’ve realized, heck, we REALLY like this place. Also, the neighbors say the same things too. That they really like it up here. It’s in its own world, up on the mountain. We’ve also noticed that even though everyone isn’t driving a BMW or Mercedes or other high-end car, they are all VERY nice and polite.
In addition, as I’ve mentioned in the last post about seeing the plan for the area, sometimes you don’t know if things will happen or be executed on, just like with a business investment. Seeing these things happen, over time, and be executed, has made us again, verify our trust in our decision. For example, first, the Graves/Prospect intersection was hideous and a nightmare with no stoplights, limited lanes, and constant back-ups. Now, there are traffic lights, there are multiple lanes, the curbs were cemented, and the traffic flow is much, much better. Of course there is still a lot of dirt around, but this will change in time once the 52 is completed. Next, the 52 is being completed. This project wasn’t halted by the down economy. It will be finished, and it will shorten the drive time to Sorrento Valley and La Jolla. Lastly, the Town Center Community Park is being completed. This was just a dream at one time, but now it is near completion.
So, all this isn’t just a maybe in someones mind or just on paper. This city is in the EXECUTION process of getting the plan done.
I’m not just verifying my purchase decision for my own accord or psychological well being, I’m giving you facts of things happening around Sky Ranch and getting done, per the plan.
Just like Apple said at one time that we will dominate the digital computer media world, they have executed that plan and taken it a step further from the iPOD to the iPHONE to now the iPAD.
