Carlsbad or Penasquitos for 500K?

Elkin one, the location is pretty good. Although, the reason why the sq is so big is because they converted the garage into living space, so you won’t have any garage.

Blythe, this one is in a decent location as well. This is a few houses from the school, so your kids can totally walk to school. I’m not a big fan of that floor plan or how it look from the outside, but that’s personal preference.

Penara, pretty decent location as well. Although, there are power line right behind the houses in front of that house. So you’re not right under power lines but you’re pretty close. Also, that community, the houses are pretty cramp together so the house tend to be narrow and long. I personally prefer a wider foot print.

This is pending now: http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-100047289-7666_Northrup_Pl_San_Diego_CA_92126, so you can’t buy it, but I prefer this development over the other 3.
In term of developments w/in MM, I prefer houses North of Calle Cristobal West of Thomas Hayes. 2nd would be houses around the Thomas Hayes area, north and south of Calle Cristobal. 3rd would be the development I just posted above. 4th would be the 2 story houses around Rock Canyon Dr: http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-100061123-11185_Birds_View_Ct_San_Diego_CA_92126.

[quote=Scarlett]. . . I’ll try to drive by that Ramsay property sometime this month after I am done with all my tasks for December… I think that property looks quite nice, reasonably updated and being a single story (I am used to looking at only 2-story house) that square footage might just be enough with a decent floor plan – the room sizes seem ok. And it has a good-sized yard. What it may not have is storage, and the 2nd car garage (where you can have more storage :)). Those are not major drawbacks from my perspective and I could live with those. Location is great.[/quote]

A 9×12′ storage shed is about $300 to $400 at Sears or Home Depot. This could suffice until you could enlarge a smaller home or smaller garage. Who knows, there may already been one at Ramsay that will convey. The backyard certainly seems big enough for a larger shed or two 9×12’s and still have room for your kids to play.

I am not buying yet for another 6-12 months. Most likely it will be 2012. But yes,a storage shed is an idea. Let’s wait until I drive by it. I was in that general neighborhood once a few years back and I seem to remember that I was ok-ish, but wasn’t that impressed with the general aspect of the street – not that well-kept, various vehicles parked on the street, that were not SUVs and sedans. But I could be wrong and neighborhoods can vary from block to block, so I’ll go see this one.
