Long time lurker, first time poster. We been looking for a house in 4s, and Scripps Ranch for good 6 months. Our factors going in were
1) Family neighbourhood.
2) No free-way noise, and no busy streets. Lived in Mission Valley for a while.
3) Newer home.
4) Decent size backyard.
5) Good school district.
We picked Stonebridge over 4s areas for the following reasons.
– Just feels away. For the first few visits it felt out of the way. I guess that is why we kept going back :).
– Decent size yards, both front and back.
– Poway school district.
– Hike right off your house.
– We looked through all the builders who have projects in Stonebridge, and found Tollbrothers product far more superior for the price, and got to pick stuff.
4s has newer homes as well but it just feels very closely built.
MR in Stonebridge is high, but I felt it is priced in to greater extent, comparatively. For e.g. Older home no MR, and close to Pomerado proximity was around $260+ PPSF.
Yes there are areas/divisions which suffer from Power lines, so watchout.
