Any price drops in Scripps ranch and carmel valley?

[sdnerd]

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.

I agree completely w/ nostradamus assessment. Yes, MM is not as nice as other north county cities. But it’s definitely no where near South Central LA either. Also, w/in Mira Mesa, it’s night and day in term if appearance as well. I’ve been living on the west end of Mira Mesa for almost 20 years now and I’ve never seen any gang activity on the west side. I did see some when I went to MMHS, but it’s mostly just juvenile gangster beating each other up. The biggest problem I see in MM is auto theft. Right now, if you compare 10 yr. old, 2000 sq-ft house in CV vs MM, the one in MM is ~35% cheaper. If that’s enough of a discount, I don’t know. That’s really up to the individual buyer.

Not really. From even your link,

The police stated that Lynn Sharpe Underwood leads the city's newly formed Gang Commission. "Mira Mesa is not particularly high in crime, thus fewer police" officers are deployed here.

Dave Collins, gang detective and former member of the anti-grafitti unit then spoke. He also said there are "a number of" Philipino gangs, comprising 5 to 12-15 members each. He implied these latter are less organized and less permanent.

5-member gangs?  Wow, better call in the armed forces.  Is this the Filipino gang that hangs out at Starbucks playing chess every day?  Those guys are bad-ass.  One time I saw one wearing his baseball cap at a slight, crooked angle.  It was highly gang-like.

As I said, I've been here for 12 years and know every inch of Mira Mesa.  I guess I'm lucky to be alive with all these gangs and bullet holes everywhere.

Based on the school data, MMHS is ranked 8, Challenger Middle School is ranked 8, other Elementary schools on the west side of Mira Mesa are ranked 8-9 as well. So, if school is the main factor, I don’t see a night and day difference. Yes, 10 is better than 8-9, but 8-9 w/ parent staying at home and tutoring the kid is probably better than 10 w/ both parents working night and day.

In regards to crime, the number for Carmel Mountain is:

0.00, 0.27, 2.53, 24.95. So, based on crime data, Carmel Mt. should be priced similar to MM, correct?
