    It’s all pretty standard suburbia. Your dollar goes a bit further in CMR. On the other hand, PQ generally has bigger backyards.

    The commute to UCSD via 56 would be only slightly longer from CMR.

    I think that PQ is preferable for raising a family. CMR is interspersed with a big golf course, which is nice to look at but not kid-friendly. It sucks when your house is next to a big green field with asphalt walkways, but your older kids can’t play in that field, and you can’t go for a walk with a stroller. I’d take a park with a playground over a golf course any day of the week.

    I like Park Village area of PQ, but it’s rather expensive. Nice houses go for more than 600k.

    So, my general impression about PQ was that it was patchy in some areas -and I don’t remember which- some houses on the same street seemed more distressed, less cared for than others.Probably those did not have HOAs…Plus, many places were far enough from shopping. CMR has more varied stores concentrated in one area. Again, I have not seen that many homes in Sabre Springs, but I had friends there, and it seemed that the houses were too crowded, and it was hotter in the summer….

    Yep, we liked Park Village too… Maybe they’ll come down more…Now, a bigger yard is nice. I liked the Hilltop (new?) park/playground in PQ…

    Esmith, how do you think the commute is via I-15 to 52 to UCSD or downtown La Jolla? 56 gets very sticky especially close to I-5 junction. Having a child in school/daycare doesn’t allow for much flexibility in work hours. thanks!
