Most of Spring Valley is “below average”, but there are some areas that are OK, like near Avocado Blvd., just south of Highway 94. They call this area older Rancho San Diego, but it really isn’t. But it’s a lot nicer than the La Presa area below Dictionary Hills. Not a good area. Also the newer tract that Centex built several years ago off Sweetwater Springs Blvd. is OK, too. But the name “Spring Valley” does bring up a negative connotation in most people’s minds.
