I’ve met many new neighbors who told me that they never thought they’d buy in Santee. Just like most of us (myself included), they started their house-hunting in North County Inland (SEH, 4S, Del Sur, etc.) but eventually realized that Santee is just as nice and the dollar stretches further here.[/quote]
An extended family member just purchased in Santee. It’s not a new build house, but it was affordable. He’s thrilled.
He did not pick Santee as his first choice… but due to budget requirements and commute time requirements, Santee was the winner.
I’m sure he’ll be happy. But if a comparable house had been available, for the same price, in Mira Mesa or Clairemont, that’s where he would have bought. This was a point of discussion during the decision making process.
