Shhh… this is the county’s best kept secret, nla. We must remain humble while 95% of homebuying Piggs are still fixated on all points in North County. We don’t need more overcrowded schools down here, lol.

So it is and so be it :=}

Isnt Eastern Chula Vista the home of obscene Mello Roos and HOA fees?

In the NCC prime areas, the Mello Roos are typically $400 or $800 per year and most homes have no MR. This is hardly crippling or obscene for people buying homes $700K and above. At my kids schools 2/3rd’s of the households pay $800/yr while the other 1/3rd does not pay MR. Comparable homes in Eastern Chula Vista have MR of $2,000 to $4,000 per year.

The one notable exception is Encinitas Ranch which is not where the school district buyers flock because it feeds into the lowest performing school in the area. The draw of Encinitas Ranch is a pristine golf course/ocean view community close to the freeway and beaches in a great own. there isnt another community like it in all of SD County. (disclaimer-I am not a fan of Encinitas Ranch)

For sfr’s only:

BVHS attendance area – 85% no MR (1/3 of MR street bonds only – avg $80 mo), annual HOA only (abt $450).

Eastlake attendance area – 85% with MR (65% low to moderate; 35% high); 90% HOA with 1/4 of these encumbered by 2 HOAs.

Olympian attendance area – 100% MR (80% moderate, 20% obscene), 90%+ HOA encumbered.

Otay Ranch attendance area – 100% MR (90%+ obscene), 90%+ HOA encumbered.

Hilltop/BVHS “swing area” of Terra Nova has no MR but is HOA encumbered <$100 mo. Consider that the "obscene" amount of annual MR for a $535K house in Otay Ranch of the same age and with exactly the same "Tuscan" building style, square footage and lot size as a $650K+ house in 4S Ranch may be substantially less than the “obscene” amount charged in 4S.

Every homebuyer with a family should do this math to see exactly what they are getting for ALL the money they will be spending and take ALL the schools in the respective attendance areas into account. That is … the ones willing to pay MR to reside in particular attendance areas.

In the BVHS attendance area, there is largely no MR, except in the tracts immediately surrounding Rancho Del Rey Middle. (Most of the 20 year-old tracts behind BVMS are nearly finished paying off their street bonds.) HOWEVER, based upon what I’ve read there, most Piggs wouldn’t care for the inventory there. It is zoned >=3 units to an acre, the average age is 30+ years old and many of the lots there would NOT be considered “low maintenance.” And some areas are on septic. For the handy Piggs, it’s a contractor’s and entertainer’s dream ….

break out the chain link and porta pottis … there are still some good buys in 91902, IMO :=]

Nice cherry picking but doesnt it just suck when the FACTS get in the way of your misinformed opinions. 4S is not in NCC and you mentioned coastal CA several time sin your rant. It is not the top school district that NCC buyers flock to but its the only one that fits your lunatic paradigm. Sorry BG…wrong again!

BTW you also failed to address my point proving you dont know WTF you are talking about with regards to elementary schools

Lastly all the low to moderate MR you mention are higher than the MR in NCC communities. Seriously. WTF are you talking about?

wtf?? Above is nothing but a pack of insults that have no legitimate (or otherwise) basis so I will refrain from responding to it. For the record, “coastal CA” refers to “coastal CA counties” such as SD, Orange, LA, Ventura, etc. And yes, 4S Ranch IS considered to be in North County.

“NCC” never entered into my discussion here. But . . . since you brought it up, how DID HS’s in your “farm area” do in 2011 on their CACI’s?? To be more specific, we’re referring here to those particular HS’s located in your beloved “Gridlocked Nirvana.”

Why don’t you fill us all in??
