4s ranch vs. Carmel valley

[Alex_angel]

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.

Alex_angel,

I was referring to south of 56 and near 5.

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.

Which one? The one off of 56 or the one in torrey hills in front of all the power lines?

Usually, people are pretty friendly to me, even when I look like sh*t. But then again, people love interacting with my daughter. I find the people at the Ace Hardware store pretty friendly, more so than those people at the mira mesa home depot. The vons people are pretty nice, and always seems to ask if I need help out. If you're trying to pick up someone in Vons, that might be a problem. Maybe it would also help if you drop your long beard, dropped the pony tail and pierced nose? 🙂 Just kidding.

I never had an issue of CV superficialness. I guess growing up in L.A., I'm pretty use to superficial people, and just tend to ignore them. BTW: lot's of those bimmers and mercedes are leased or financed. There is very little correlation between expensive car and net worth, especially in america where you can just about finance your way into anything.

I’ve lived in CV (specifically, Torrey Hills) since the beginning of 2005.

With regard to the initial question, no I do not see how it is worth the current asking prices. I’m renting and have been watching those prices inch down these last three years. They haven’t dropped much (esp in the $1M+ bracket), presumably because the population can afford to hold out for the market to rebound. However, I’m sure there’s a growing number of people who’d like to sell. Be that as it may, these are indeed tract houses, as has been pointed out. Many are huge, taking up almost the entire lot they sit on. I suppose the builders got a better profit margin that way.

I take exception, however to the “no soul” observations. My kid is in school in Torrey Hills and partly as a result of that we know lots of people in the neighborhood. Also, my wife is Chinese and thinks she is in heaven due to the high number of friendly neighbors who speak her language. It’s a rare day when we go out without seeing people we know and like. (I’m not aware of any aversion to us on the grounds of our being mere tenants.) There’s no comparison between this and an older neighborhood in San Diego where I lived for 21 years. Now there was a place where you really had to work overtime to find a friend!

We could live in Torrey Hills indefinitely. I wish I owned a 2K-sq-ft house there, of which there are a few. However, I will never buy at current prices. Again, these are still just tract houses.
