[quote=rired]We live in RI, outside of Newport. We have a five bedroom home with a water view (we live on an island). Our yard is just under an acre with mature landscaping. Our town is a bedroom community, very family oriented.
My husbands business partner lives in Coronado and they will select an office 1/2 between our two homes.
I’ve looked at homes in the three areas I mentioned and was *agast* at the selection in our price range ($1M-$1.5M).
Having given this more thought I believe we will select an area that has top notch public schools. I’d love it to be a coastal town but school reputation is more important to me.
Thank you for all the feedback![/quote]
My quick two cents, which probably isn’t worth much, I would like to give.
I grew up in Minnesota and that is my archetype. So my thoughts on SD are somewhat jaded because they do not live up to that archetype. When thinking about living in SD, my mind always came back to the fact that I needed to make more money. 1- 1.5 million seemed like mored than a good number to live in the neighborhoods that I would consider ideal, but my expectations are rather low still considering I live much cheaper than that. The two neighborhoods personally found ideal would be the wooded area of point Loma, it’s the one on the hill, and Rancho Santa Fe. Those are the only two neighborhoods I could live out my days in….
Mostly just wooded area though…
Check out modern sd if you are looking at living in something special! I hate stucco boxes, but that’s just me.
