Welcome in advance to San Diego. How terrific that you have so many beautiful and luxurious areas to choose from. A friend recently spoke to a woman who sold her home in the Covenant and moved further up the North County coast. She loved the RSF environment but complained that it takes too long to do anything there; e.g. 20 minutes just to get to a gas station.
Somebody complained on here (or another blog — I don’t remember) that in order to do anything to your home in the Covenant, you have to go before the very strict Art Committee. That comment was countered by someone who said the rules are just as strict in the communities adjacent to the Covenant, such as Santaluz.
