[quote=SD Realtor]With regards to those writing code for a living and depending on W2 income, I can say that with 100% certainty that 0% of them have ever asked me to look at homes in MH or PL. Furthermore none of them have even asked me to put those areas in for a home search. They did not care about High Tech High school as well. They wanted a neighborhood that had alot of kids, that had a good school district and they were much more focussed on starting a family or growing an existing young family.
I am not sure if there is even a single Pigg poster or lurker with young children who has ever chimed in about wanting to raise the kids in Mission Hills or even 92103 for that matter. Maybe not so much for Point Loma but really, parse through the archives and you guys tell me how many posters you see making queries about raising kids in Mission Hills and Point Loma.
Please don’t get me wrong, these are beautiful places to live. However the demand for these places is much smaller then the demand for what the average engineer and his wife want.
One thing that I have found to be common with most my clients regardless of profession, race, or religion is that those with kids all wanted to be in the same spots. Again, CV, PQ, Scripps, Encinitas, 4S, some UC and Clairmont as well. None ever mentioned MH or PL. I am not saying that there are not exceptions to the rule. Bearish and Pem if you deal with young families every day and are trying to find them homes to live then you can chime in and let me know of how many of them are looking to raise thier families in MH or PL.
I know you guys all may have some exceptions to the rule, but based on my own experience of people I work with who have bought and who are looking they are exceptions and not anything more then that.[/quote]
I guess I am an exception to the rule. I am a Mechanical Engineer and my wife is a PA. So we are a professional couple with lots of education and making a very strong combined income, but the mere thought of CV or 4s is positively nauseating (and my wife even grew up in Irvine). So consider me the exception, because I wanted to raise kids in Pt. Loma, but that was not in the cards.
