Thanks for revealing your “retirement plans” here, scaredy 🙂
I’m uncertain WHO is actually looking for “lifestyle” here. (No disrespect intended to you, NYMom :)) I’m not sure either of them are. I was just thinking:
– Big lot – even pano view lot of countryside;
– Reasonable proximity to relatives (~1 hr); and,
– Proximity to OC finance centers (30 mins to 1 hr).
East LA County corridor has a HUGE swath of preserved open space … every bit as expansive as those in the Silicon Valley.
Of course, the west SF Valley (much more developed) is a also a major “finance center,” but NYMom stated they didn’t like it there. It can be very hot there as well. WOW, I am very impressed by the housing stock in there and bordering there, though! I really can’t think of anything to compare CAR’s links to in SD County … not even Muirlands (LJ).
edit: Ohhhh, I take that back …. Pt Loma Woods (92106) …. ma-a-a-ybe (w/o the resident paparazzi, of course :)).
