My hood while predominantly kid-oriented has plenty of childless couples, high school age kids and retirees also. Two retirees are across the street, next to them is a couple with college age kids, next to them an elderly chinese widow, next to them couple with college age kids, them two familes with young kids in the next two homes. It is just a really nice mix of friendly outgoing people. I would stay here because of location, amenities, safety and the community though eventually the house will be more than I want/need. At that point I will likley rent it out until one of my kids is ready for it. At this point my plan is to pick something up a mile or so away at the beach. I also expect to exit my investment properties and pick up small place in Palm Desert and possibly a pied-à-terre up in LA.
My son slept over his friends last night and I was over there talking to the parents. They told me they moved from a mile away to get into our school and neighborhood which is pretty common around here. I dont know of another place where I have been in SD where you always see people out in a coomunity walking around, playing, riding bikes etc. It just seems to be unique that way. There could be others like it but I’ve been all over SD and SoCal without seeing one.
BTW, it was a beer not wine with the neighbor. His tap sits in an island less than 12 inches from the fence line and I can reach over if I want for cold one.
