Haha, sorry, it’s an inside joke. Whenever Skyranch is mentioned on piggington one of us old timers will chime in with that line.
Back to your question:
Most of the professionals in SD are concentrated all alone the entire 56 corridor. We moved to SD almost 10 years ago and have looked at homes in almost every single neighborhood mentioned. You’ll find a lot of SD’s top schools essentially from the coast to Poway/Scripps Ranch all along the 56 corridor. With the price point of $1 million, you are looking at income range that would essentially put you right within this entire area. Let’s break this area down from coast and inward:
Carmel Valley: considered the best school district but prices extremely high and yards typically very minimal. Huge amount of money from China/HK/Taiwan propping up the market. Slim pickings at $1 million.
Del Sur: well planned, good schools, very high MR, up to 0.9% on top of the typical 1% property tax. Small lots usually.
Santaluz/Crosby/Lakes: much bigger lots, high MR and high HOA ($1k plus per month). Schools are great. Prices are mostly well north of $1 million.
Santa Fe Valley: in between 4S and Del Sur, lower MR and lower HOA, older, built in early 2000. Larger lots as well. Might be able to find something here, but low inventory.
4S (North): built mostly during the bubble, higher MR, packed in neighborhoods, good schools.
4S (South): built before the bubble, lower MR, more green space. good schools.
Sabre Springs: older, mostly late 90’s. Smaller homes.
PQ: older than Sabre Springs, smaller homes, schools are good.
Torrey Highland: essentially the southern part of 92129. Newer stock of homes. Good schools, you’ll be able to find something here for a mil and meet a lot of your criteria.
Poway: some nice estate sized homes in the north and east parts. The core is a little rotted. Gets quite hot during summer. Schools not quite as good as those west of the 15.
Scripps Ranch: Miramar North, early 2000 built, average 3000 sqft, excellent schools, low inventory, low MR, low HOA.
Scripps Ranch south of Pomerado, bigger homes, average $1.5 million, excellent schools, low MR and HOA.
Old Scripps: 70’s, 2000 sqft would be considered bigger sized.
Stonebridge: large estate homes on large lots, mid level MR and HOA, more inventory, zip code is Scripps but Poway schools, schools further than typical “neighborhood” schools.
