Not exactly new and big. I want something relatively new (less than 15 years), 2000-2300 sf (not any bigger than that) and around 500K, preferably under, definitely not 600K and definitely not high MR (less than 300/mo) or high HOAs, and good school district ( not necessarily PUSD or del Mar). So a relatively average SFR. And I compromised on commute, to 45′ instead of 20′ what we both have now (work in La Jolla, rent in UTC).
I don’t think I am asking for too much, am I? I just don’t know much about the rest of San Diego except UTC, Carmel Valley, Penasquitos, RB. There must be areas that satisfy those things, esp. school district. It can’t be all that bad.[/quote]
Maybe you should check out Mira Mesa. School should be about the same to slightly better than Chula Vista and Santee. Commute should be 10 minutes to La Jolla. There are 2000-23000 sq-ft houses built in the last 10-30 years for around $500k. MM don’t have MR and tax rate is 1.08%.
