the 7 mile comment is regarding the difference in distance between the two homes I previously linked.
another issue about CV is most folks end up driving to Carmel Mountain Ranch for their shopping, ie Costco, or Mira Mesa for their Home Depot. it isn’t the most convenient neighborhood.
the 4S home is slightly bigger at 3800 vs 3500 for the CV home, both are standard tract homes on standard sized lots, the 4S one has a nice pool + spa. the CV home is almost half a million pricier. Yes, the commute is 15 minutes less, yes, you are saving $50 on gas every month, yes, you don’t need the AC in the summer… but seriously, half a million difference?
