Regarding the commute, 4s to 5/56 interchange is 20 minutes via Camino del norte/sur to either the 56, carmel valley road or through RSF. Considering you hit the bypass at the 5, you miss a lot of the traffic which would leave 1 or 2 exits in la jolla. So do you disagree on commute to 4s vs carlsbad? [/quote]
Yes, 4s to 5/56 taking any of your routes is 20 minutes with light traffic.
I actually timed the drive from Garden Gate to Genesee exit off I-5 using San Dieguito Road, at 24 minutes. La Vina would be 22 minutes.
I’m not familiar with San Dieguito route during rush hour. All I can say, pray that there are no accidents, since it’s two lane roads almost all the way.
All other routes make you hit the congested stretch of 56 between 5 and Carmel Valley, which would add 10-15 min. to your commute.
I disagree that it’s necessarily an easier commute, because the OP could live in Aviara or La Costa, and it would be an easy 15-17 minute drive to 5/56 interchange during off-peak hours, mostly freeway (much easier than stop-and-go trek across Fairbanks Ranch).
