Any thought/comments on small single family house in East Carmel Valley/West Rancho Bernardo Area?

[lepetitangel]

Hi All

My husband and I are thinking of buying a small single family house (1600~1800-sqft with ~4000-sqft yard) in the area between Carmel Valley and 4S Ranch. We don’t want to stretch our budget and would like to keep the total price < $550K. we've been looking at small SFHs because we really want a drive way with a small yard instead of just straight out condo/townhouse. We'd like to get some feedback from other users what they think of these small single family houses. The core Carmel Valley area houses are still too expensive (>650K) but do you think the East Carmel Valley area is good? I think school district wise it’s still good but it’s still kinda underdeveloped…not too many shops or stores around.

Hope people can give us some feedbacks!

most of them are very close to the 56 fwy, make sure you walk around the neighborhood to see if you can hear the fwy noise.

Tough call. East CV is still expensive and for my money you do not get much home for the overhead you pay including MR and HOA in most cases. The housing stock is newer compared to say west PQ which is good and of course the schools are good. It really is your taste. What drives your choice? Commute, schools, buying a newer home verses older home? Are you talking off of Del Sur somewhere or are you thinking more to the west? I think that the area is still heavy in demand. You will most likely overpay and if you had awhile to wait that would be good. If you have to bite the bullet now then you gotta do what ya gotta do. Obviously you get more for your money if you could extend into PQ, Poway or CMR.
