SEH has HUGE Mello Roos fees, a very questionable high school situation, major accessibility issues, a very sterile feel and oh yeah….it was built on a landfill. other than that its great. you can have SEH every time. I wouldnt live there if it was free.
I’d take an older home on a nice size lot in Encinitas or Rancho ponderosa over any of those areas every time.
