The area I am referring to is east of Altamira and Cantara, across the 78. It is on the egde of where Vista gets rural to the northeast. I thought it was called Alta Vista, but I could be wrong, I know that there is a street called Alta Vista that runs through the area. I am not looking right now, but it looks like prices have fallen a good bit there (I agree this area will get thwacked). My interest is, in all honesty, as a shorter term alternative to waiting for Carlsbad to drop out of the stratosphere and let me in.
