luvsan lets take a step back for a moment. Let me ask you a few questions:
How long have you lived in San Diego?
Do your kids live with you or not?
If so will they be going to school while living with you?
What is more important, owning a home, or having a location that is more conducive for your kids?
Also, if you are recently divorced what is the rush to buy a home?
Now some answers… First off, anyone that is relocating should really consider holding off before buying a home. Unless they have previously lived in the area, I just do not recommend buying first and then getting to know the area second. That is like getting married on the second date. Second, I have a rental home not terribly far from there. From a pricing perspective yes the prices are not bad. However this is not where I would be thrilled to live. That is only me personally. It is not the greatest part of town. It is not a sh-t hole but given that there are so many great places to live in San Diego, I just think that if you are going to live here, there are much better places to investigate.
My recommendation would be that you should rent a place that you can afford while you get the feel for the city. Lots of different areas that you may like, even if it is to rent. Of course affordability is an entirely different question but I would tighten the reins a bit and check out other areas of interest.
