ParticipantWe are moving to the San Pacifio area (rental) as I am tired of tiny, old, house -by-the-freeway. (Coastal off of Poinsettia). For whatever reason the noise over there doesn’t seem nearly as oppressive even though I am just as close to I-5.
I live right off Birmingham in Cardiff and drive to Genessee and it’s rarely more than 20 minutes. It takes nearly that long to get to La Costa Canyon which is why I am quite thrilled my kids are not going there (no knock on the school, just hate Encinitas surface street lights).
Sometimes the evening commute is longer depending on when you leave. I usually leave at 4:00-4:30 and with school being it’s like Nascar. Also for the ride home I find Thursday 5:00 to be the worst except on a 3-day weekend.
I am not much for the train it’s really expensive, and we have to hop off at Sorrento Valley and tack a commuter bus to the office. The whole thing takes way too long, it’s probably fine for Dinks and singles, but since my kids are athletes the last thing I want is an extra hour of commute time to save the planet. I think in 5-10 years when the kids are out, it might be nice. We will live pretty close to the park and ride.
I expect San Pacifio to run me an extra 5-15 minutes per day each way over and above Birmingham (we shall see).
In comparing the areas around LCC/Diegueno, I find the south carlsbad addresses might have newer, nicer homes. Not always of course, but out that So. Carlsbad area, I would at least try to get close to Encinitas

Participant[quote=NewtoSanDiego]
Drive commute is also easier now since original post with new lanes and fewer cars (due to recession)
[/quote]On my way home tonight I missed the turn and ended up on I-5 north … If that’s the “easier” commute, I don’t want to know how it was before the new lines and the recession.
At 8:30 pm, my normal commute (56 to 15 or 52 to 15) is very much free-flowing, and I usually can sustain 75 mph all the way.
On 5N from the merge to Lomas Santa Fe, on the other hand, I was driving under the speed limit half of the time, because the freeway was too busy.

Participant[quote=Eugene][quote=LAAFTERHOURS]4s Ranch has 4 bed 1900-2100 sq ft for less than 550 (look for La Vina – saintsbury glen/ tallus or Garden Gate – calloway/snowbell/etc). Probably will get smaller lot there but will be an easier commute for you.
[/quote]I disagree…
[/quote]With what? The commute or the homes?
Regarding the homes: http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-080072589-16416_Snowbells_San_Diego_CA_92127
http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-090015240-16815_Saintsbury_San_Diego_CA_92127
Regarding the commute, 4s to 5/56 interchange is 20 minutes via Camino del norte/sur to either the 56, carmel valley road or through RSF. Considering you hit the bypass at the 5, you miss a lot of the traffic which would leave 1 or 2 exits in la jolla. So do you disagree on commute to 4s vs carlsbad?
