4s ranch vs. Carmel valley

[zk]

screnter,

I wouldn’t put too much stock in what alex angel says. Perhaps the fearful frenzy of scurrying off is related to the manner of his approach.

We moved from Scripps Ranch to CV about 5 years ago. My wife and I have found the people very friendly.

There are a lot of women who stay home, and there are a lot of BMWs, Mercedes and Range Rovers. And also Lexuses and Porsches, and even a few Aston Martins and Maseratis and Ferraris, too. Not sure why that’s a bad thing.

I’d say the main things that make this area cost more than 4S are, in order of importance:

1)Proximity to the coast.
2)Better schools.
3)A bit closer to downtown.

The weather is almost always in the 70’s in the summer. And the parents are very involved in the schools, which is probably the main reason that they have the highest test scores in San Diego.

Whether that makes CV worth the extra money is, as the last poster said, something only you can decide.

Alex is right about one thing, though. CV doesn’t have much of a “soul.” It’s stricly tract homes with no downtown or other special places. If you live here long enough, though, you start to know lots of people, and there does start to be a sense of community. It’s a very family-oriented place.

I live in Carmel Valley. I would say you do see a lot of nannies in some places, but you also see a lot of stay at home moms. The comment about pretentious. I would say depends on which neighborhood you're in. I guess if you break into the over $1mil, you do see more of the name brand cars and such. I guess I just live around the worker bees. I haven't had really any issues with people be pretentious here. Seems to be good families with good values. Can't comment on 4sranch. I like how it's new, but don't like how in the summer time it gets really hot. I guess where I live, there is an ocean breeze, so i don't have a need to run A/C during the summers.

 

I do have a live in a nanny, and personally I think she is fine. But at the same time, I'm aspiring to one day be a stay home dad when our financials allows it.

Then again, I don't have a lot of blond and brunette friends here that fit the age old stereotypes, so I wouldn't know about the botox and fake other things comments. I would think that you would have superficial people all over southern ca. Most of my friends and wifes are all pretty well educated, some more than me. A lot of biotech phd's which I have to admit for ph'd are pretty good looking.

You have to remember, CV is different than CV and different than CV. CV is a large area. there is the south part that runs off of carmel mountain road near the five, the north part of the 56, the east part considered pacific highlands ranch. They are all a lot different from each other. The part I talk about and live is in south of the 56 near the 5.

Being close to the coast is only worth it if you are a true beach goer. Even from 4S you are only 15 minutes away so big deal. It does get a lot warmer in 4S area but there is a pro to that. There are a lot of times in CV where its warm during the day but gets foggy and cold at night where at CV its still warm and you can sit outside and enjoy the weather where in CV you honestly want to stay inside, this is true from may-august.

There are also parts of CV that are absolutely batshit insane when it comes to home sizes. There is a little road up a hill off of Carmel mountain that are huge. I mean HUGE. Then there is Del Mar mesa duck pond and those gated communities. CV is different depending on which part. It does vary a lot. But go to Vons, walk around and say hi to people and see which ones say hi back. its very rare. I have no idea where that jackass that comments on how I approach people knows anything. I am a very firendly and nice person. I just call BS when I see it and that seems to upset people.
