Obviously I think UC is a good choice… (hence my moniker). But the houses don’t appeal to many… Older, not as big, typically. But many (not all) are on larger lots. The elementary schools are good, the middle and high school have been slipping. Still better than most in SDUSD… but San Diegito and Poway high schools are better.
For the OP – UC has two parts. South UC is mostly single family homes. It’s served by Spreckels on the west side and Curie on the east side. (disclaimer, my sister teaches at Spreckels and my kids go to Curie – as did I a LONG time ago.) The north half of UC (north of Rose Canyon) is mostly condos, newer, and much more congested.
As I mentioned earlier – the one program that SDUSD has that Poway and CV schools don’t (as far as I know) is the Seminar program. But it’s a very small percentage that make it in. If your kids are super gifted – it’s something to think about. (My son was close… but no cigar.)

A little off topic on this thread…but are you the family who relocted from the East Coast? We are considering a similar move for … What sounds like reasons similar to yours: weather/health/NYC rat race etc… I would love the benefit of your experience…
We have visited and house hunted several times but trying to wrap our heads around it all. We have children entering middle school…
Thanks
