pk92108 your sentiments match pretty much all of my clients who are looking in CV. It is very centrally located, the housing stock is new, the school district meets the standards they hold near and dear to the heart, and the sizes of the homes are what they want. It is closer to thier jobs then other nice places that have new housing and good schools like La Costa Valley, 4S Ranch, etc…
Again, we all have our own personal tastes, as for myself, school district is important and the size of the lot is more important then the qualities of the home. Just a personal interjection. I have some clients who have also been stymied by the plan 3 demand at Derby…
Anyways FLU seems to have a pretty good pulse on the CV developers and his insights are spot on.
As for what 4plex said… yep I would much rather be on the coast for 1-2M but that is way out of my league and schools/neighborhood is important.
