nybuyer it gets quite warm… The climate is similar to that of Cielo and the homes that are on the western face of the hills that are behind Lake Hodges. Not much sea breeze activity. Again, the sea breezes in San Siego die off pretty quickly. Sometimes you get some nice breezes up the canyons that finger off to the west but once more it is not a “coastal cool” that I am pretty sure you are referring to.
MR for Santa Monica are in the 6-7K range annually and a 230 HOA per month. Not cheap.
