SD Realtor, Not all PQ kids go to Mr. Carmel, in fact more PQ kids now go to Westview. RB high is so full that most of Sabre Springs now goes to Mr. Carmel. Both schools are over 800 on the state standards, all Poway USD high schools are over 800 (4 out of 8 in the county are PUSD). When the new Del Norte high opens in a year or so, that should take the burden off RB.
As to living in village park, you meant park village, and we live here. We got lucky and live far away from Black Mountain road, it is very busy. The only sound we hear at night is an occasional pack of coyotes chasing rabbits. We have a barn owl which keeps the rats down, we see rattlesnakes and deer often. It is truly hard to believe we live in a big city.
The part of town near the Albertsons is only the cheapest part of town because it is filled with condos. The west and south sides are great areas, the extreme east is not a great area, I just read in the paper this morning about a man attacking women in that area. Lots of crime, gangs, and not to sound snooty, section 8 housing area. The town is quite diverse, but heavily asian and phillipino. CMR in my opinion is a city built around a golf course and I being a golfer would NEVER live near a golf course. You have people walking through your yard looking for lost balls, errant shots pelting your house so much we used to call it Sarajevo, peering through your windows and simply being obnoxious and yelling obsenities when the ball doesn’t drop into the hole (I know from personal experience!) CMR also has some of the smallest homes on the smallest lots I have ever seen. Sabre Springs was a great place to live, but having lived in both I prefer the cooler breezes from the canyon. I hope this was helpful…
