Carlsbad schools and commute

Drive commute is also easier now since original post with new lanes and fewer cars (due to recession)

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.

Was it perhaps due to the FAIR?

[quote=Scarlett]Thanks, LAA. I’ll keep that in mind when looking at 4S R. I liked the shopping mall there. Do you get any ocean breeze there, perhaps thru the San Dieguito river canyon? Is it warmer that Southern Penasquitos?

Recently there has been a breeze but the past two summers have been very hot. Some of the homes on the south side of el camino are on the side of a hill that may get a breeze but im not sure.

Best thing to do is insulate those attics as much as possible and get a whole house fan to suck the hotair out. Otherwise those homes are sunsoaking hotboxes.

Scarlett,
yes you are correct … I am seeing relative decline in prices (though very small) for smaller homes (townhomes or Condominums) in Aviara … but then again there are not so many of those in Aviara … they come up rarely in market and are going up very fast (like everything else under 700k). Once in a while you get one with large back yard or side yard etc. “Detached Condominium” is more like a townhome. I do not think Aviara has a any typical Condominium complexes (ones with lots of apartments within 1 single building). Hope this helps.

Years ago I used to commute from Carlsbad to Del Mar. You could always count on traffic during the normal working time rush and it always took me at least 40 minutes door to door. If there was an accident or something out of the ordinary it was more. I ended up taking another job in the OC with the same drive time but a more peaceful commute. Now, either the traffic has gotten better or people on here are seriously underestimating the door to door commute if they say 30 minutes in rush hour. I’m not going to go drive it in rush hour to prove them wrong but I don’t believe it.

To the OP, is this the house you are planning on staying in? You say you have young kids, don’t you want a yard? The places on the links seem like they have…a patio. If you aren’t planning on staying in this place I would wait for prices to further drop.
