We have friends who lived there years ago and loved the area, then turned their homes into rentals when they moved on.
There are many nice areas in Clairemont, but, it seems that you now have to search a little harder to find them. If its your chosen destination, I’d say it’s well worth spending the time searching.
As far as arguing about which area of town is
best–I really think it boils down to your chosen lifestyle.
Some of us prefer a quiet country-setting near the ocean that is still close to everything we need and want, others enjoy being in the center of a a busy area for work, school and convenience. One person wants one school district, another wants another school district, and on and on and on.
In my opinion, if you have the life YOU and YOUR family want, it really doesn’t matter what anyone else has or does. We’ve always been grateful that we got exactly what we wanted, and we hope everyone else does too!!
