Wateridge to me is very safe. I had no reason to think otherwise while I was living there. It’s extremely quiet during the weekend and at night. We usually go walking at night after I get out of work and it’s quite nice not having cars zooming by. You should just go there at night one day and see if you like what you see, or not see for that matter. Most people are in their condo, but there are some people walking around, getting their exercise in after work.
SD R, I totally agree w/ you that the one w/ the backyard that back right into Calle Cristobal would that that problem. I don’t really care for those too much either since those lots tend to be smaller, around 5k. You probably need to upgrade to double pain windows to block out the noise. I did walk by the Cheryl Ridge house that you lived in. I do like the homes off in the feeder roads w/ the backyard back to the canyon. When I walk around there, I didn’t notice any noise at all from the street so it’s definitely quiet in the house.
My wife works @ Scripps in La Jolla, so the commute from Wateridge to La Jolla/UCSD would be around 5-10 minutes depending on lights. I never it any traffic when I live there at any time of the day.
