It has been quite an odyssey for you with regards to your home search. I don’t have any sage advice for you. I think Clairemont provides some value for homebuyers that is hard to find these days. I will not comment on the schools because there has been lots of discussion about that. I really like sduudes recommendation to rent before buying, I think that makes alot of sense but I your resistance to do yet another move is palpable and I can feel it through the monitor. You do have the UC townhome option as you said. There are alot of them to choose from and lots of families send their kids to Doyle. I bring my kids to the park there when we visit grandma over at UC Regents. Anyways, as I said at the beginning of the post I have a soft spot for Clairemont because of the lower pricing. I think there are alot of young couples looking to buy there because of the pricing.[/quote]
Chuckle… it shows I hate moving, doesn’t it! I’ve never stayed more than 3 years in any place since I got my PhD. Maybe I’ll decide to continue renting where we are – at least until we decide to buy and go to Doyle, which is probably just as good or better than the best schools in Clairemont. Curie would be better. I am not sure it’s the right time to buy house in the next year…
