    Hi Terri,
    I am new to So Cal too – I grew up in VT and have lived in Chicago, Minneapolis, Dallas & Austin over the last 12 years. We have lived in La Costa Greens in the La Costa area of Carlsbad since April, and we love it. We are renting a home until the market stabilizes. I was very reluctant to rent as I had owned homes for over a decade, but we’re glad we did. I’ve gotten to know the area & now have narrowed down where we eventually want to buy. I highly recommend you consider doing this as well. There are some homes for rent here, and the development is very family-oriented and super-friendly. La Costa Greens has a great pool & community party area called the Presido, and the houses are just a couple of years old at the most (some are brand new as the development is still under contruction). It’s south of Bressi Ranch, out of the commercial construction area and closer to the golf course – some homes are actually on the La Costa golf course. A lot of homes have great views. The only drawback I have is that the school system is San Marcos for most of La Costa Greens. The elementary school (La Costa Meadow) is very good, but the high school is not great, although by all reports it’s improving. Other nice & newer developments in the La Costa area include La Costa Ridge (San Marcos schools) and La Costa Oaks (Encinitas schools, which are great). I highly recommend Carlsbad or Encinitas if you are looking for a family-oriented area on the train line. Good luck to you & your family! You’ll love it out here.

    Amy…nice to meet you…wow…I am starting to feel like this is not hopeless. I did notice the schools werent carlsbad unified and that did concern me.

    We have 2 daughters in elementary school now. If we follow thru on selling our house up in ventura ( we have been here for 2 yrs)in the spring, most likely we would rent too until something good came along. That sounds like the best course for now.

    Thank you so much for your positive response. I am abit concerned with the schools (only because we are in a good district now, but I dont care for the superficialness of the area.) Do you know if there is a good christian high school in the area? In case the HS doesnt get its act together?

    Oh and since you have been in the neighborhood…have you seen a significant drop in the prices for a single family home and are they sitting awhile?

    La Costa Greens and Ridge are not La Costa Valley and they have their own HOA’s and amenities. They are newer and by all accounts very nice. The big difference is school districts. I have a feeling a lot of these residents send their kids to private schools at least for middle and high school (not even sure what the middle school is).

    La Costa Oaks is yet another newer development and it is part of the same school district (Encinitas/San Dieguito). My only concern with the newer developments is that a lot of the speculation and toxic loans are probably hidden in some of these neighborhoods which were built right as prices peaked 2004-2006. Some of it has already been shaken out through foreclosures, etc. but it’s difficult to know for sure.

    Santa Fe Chritstian is a very good school in Solana Beach and goes from elementary through High School. We have friends that send their kids there and they love it. The school bus makes a stop in La Costa Valley.

    Thsnk you very much, Duck. That helps narrow my search down alot. Do you all live in this community? Now isnt the La Costa Oaks still being built out? Do you know if the prices have dropped in there?

    I am feeling very optimistic about checking out this community…it truly sounds like it has a nice balance and people are happy there. That makes a big difference to me.
