Any price drops in Scripps ranch and carmel valley?

Re: Sandi

At least one consideration, amongst many:

One freeway exit away often means a different school district. So, for example Mira Mesa is just a few minutes away from CV – the reality is it’s night and day difference in terms of schools. You also won’t find many Asian gangs in CV, etc.

Now, whether or not that’s worth a 10%, 20%, 30%, etc price premium is up for debate. But I do believe that’s a big factor and will help keep prices propped up.

Asian gangs? Hmmmm… been living in Mira Mesa since about 1996. Never ran across a gang in 12 years there. MMHS ranks pretty high academically. Mira Mesa ain’t pretty but it ain’t no South Central LA, homie. Quite a livable town, just a bit old.

The fact is, there’s so little to do in MM besides go to the movies that if there were a gang surely they’d hang out somewhere else. There isn’t even a pool hall in Mira Mesa. Just a bunch of restaurants and strip malls and everything closes early just like in most of SD.

Mira Mesa Town Council Meeting
February 4, 2008
Featuring a presentation by the San Diego Police Department on crime and gangs in the area

”
12-18 months ago there “was a huge gang problem up here” (in Mira Mesa). The police did a lot of sweeps, made some arrests, and knocked the gang activity down.

I’m not knocking MM, but it has been a problem on and off over the years.

I have a few friends who live there in various communities. It’s not uncommon to see bullet holes in fences there; seen it first hand. You just don’t see that in CV.

Here’s some more data that I believe help explains a price premium:

Crime Rates per 1,000 Population for 2005.

http://www.sandiego.gov/police/pdf/ratesjandec2005.pdf

MURDER,RAPE,TOTAL VIOLENT,TOTAL PROPERTY

Carmel Valley:

0.00,0.06,0.76,19.14

Mira Mesa:

0.07,0.14,2.56,22.40

You can also look up school rankings, the San Dieguito Union High District (Torrey Pines, Carmel Valley Middle, Canyon Crest) all receive the highest rankings. As do all the schools in the Del Mar Union Elementary District (Carmel Del Mar, Torrey Hills, etc).

The San Diego Unified District is much more of a mixed bag, with some good, some okay, and some where I really wouldn’t want my kids to go to school.

You can also do the same type of comparisons for Scripps Ranch, etc and it’s surrounding areas to see similar results.
