ParticipantHi ibjames,
I can comment. I live off Calle Cristobal which parallels Mira Mesa Blvd. to the north. Mostly Asians live in the area. yesterday I took my dog for a walk at the nice, new park on the North end of Cam. Ruiz, and since it was daytime on a weekday a lot of housewives (to be more pc, home makers?) were there with the babies. There were about 50 Indian women and other desi (no offense, by desi I mean Indian or Pakistani or Bangladeshi etc) and about 20 SE Asian women and me and my (apparently very dangerous, but that’s another story) 10-pound dog. Combining this observation with the other threads discussing how the U.S. is becoming the new “cheap manufacturing” country, I think it’s a safe bet to buy and rent a house in MM when the price comes down like SDR mentioned.
The shopping in the area is so-so: there’s a vons and an Albertson’s and a ralphs, I go to the LA Fitness on Camino Santa Fe, and rumor has it they’re going to put a “Henry’s” market in the plaza where Bally’s used to be. Anyone know anything about this?
I’ve lived in this ‘hood for 10 years, wow! Bought in ’98. It’s VERY convenient for me because I also work at Qualcomm and many other companies in Sorrento Valley. There’s a nice hiking/biking trail off Sorrento Valley Road, and although there is crime it has never affected me aside from having the “H” stolen off my Honda which is apparently a popular thing to do amongst young MMHS kids.
Do you have any specific questions?

ParticipantLots of experts on the area here James. AN is, I am, Jimmy is… I think even nostra is a 92126er…
Correct me if I am wrong but you live in PB don’t you? Mira Mesa is a much different environment. As AN pointed out Parkdale is buys right off of MM Blvd but after a few blocks in either direction it thins out.
Mira Mesa is very diverse compared to PB. I have lived there and have never had any problems. Crime wise there are parts of MM that have had some crime. Guys like AN have grown up here, gone to school here and continue to live in or around MM. As far as schools go MM schools are part of San Diego Unified. I do not know how strong they rank within the test score structure… My guess without looking on line is that they are middle of the pack but I could be very wrong in either direction.
Like any other community mentioned on Piggington some people will be down on MM and others will not. Obviously it is a VERY short commute to Qualcomm.
Again though… it is MILES apart from PB. No jumping on the bikes and cruising around Crown Point or anything like that.

December 14, 2007 at 2:31 PM #117247ParticipantNostra we rented pretty much where you live… We took our toddlers to the new community park all the time after it just opened.
LOTS of families there… very nice place to take the kids and lots of different races of people there. The kids really like that park.
