Chula Vista better schools and newer construction

[ybitz]

[quote=mercedes7][quote=sdduuuude]Tierrasanta may be a great compromise for you …[/quote]

Agreed…I think you should at least look at Tierrasanta. Don’t know anything about the schools there though.[/quote]

Keep in mind that inventory is super low in Tierrasanta. There are only 9 active listings (not counting short sales) under $600k in Tierrasanta right now.

[quote=Scarlett]AN, what do you think about the Westview Pkwy places? I’ve seen a couple of 2000sf newer houses (yr 2000) for less than 500K. They have HOA of ~150 or so, and MR under 100, that’s fine. I kind of like the newer stock. What do you think about that neighborhood of MM? thanks[/quote]
If your requirement is 2000 and newer, then Westview are is your only choice. Those are not my favorite, since they’re crammed together. For the same money, I rather get the 2000 sq-ft house in South West Mira Mesa or for a little bit more, I rather get the houses north of Calle Cristobal. The south west houses were built in the 80s and houses north of Calle Cristobal were built in the 90s. Both group of 2000-2300 sq-ft houses have 5000+ sq-ft lot, while the Westview houses have a much smaller lot. Also, since you work in LJ, I recommend living on the West side of MM (west of Camino Ruiz). East of Camino Ruiz is usually where the traffic starts (due to the number of lights). From west MM to 805 is 5-10 minutes depending on how many lights you hit. I grew up in MM and I could get to UCSD in 10 minutes taking Camino Santa Fe to Sorrento Valley Blvd. and get on the 5. So, getting to down town LJ should be another 5 minutes.
I’m not too sure about your weather preference but there’s a differences in weather comparing east vs west of MM. During the summer, the differences could be about 5 degrees. The west side have a lot of canyons, so you do get quite a bit of canyon breeze vs the east side, which is all on a mesa. Last year, it only got unbearable for about 2 weeks w/out fans (w/ceiling fans, I was perfectly comfortable in those 2 weeks).

If they are highschool age, then kids mostly go to private schools outside of the area. Catholic schools like Saints (all boys), OLP (all girls), or Cathedral (coed). These 3 all cost around $10,000 to $11,000 per year. So, about $1,000 per month.[/quote]
Just checked out all 3 schools. OLP is $11,260/yr., Saints is $11950/yr., and Cathedral is $11,675/yr. These rates are paid in full beginning of the year. Monthly rate will be higher. Much more reasonable than LJCD, Bishop’s, or Francis Parker (which are $22k+). I’m not sure how OLP, Saints, and Cathedral compares to LJCD, Bishop’s, or Francis Parker. But there must be a reason why the later 3 can charge 2X as much and still have students. Even at $11k, that’s ~$135k for 1 kids over 12 years (excluding pre-school and kindergarten). It would be more economical to just buy in PQ or RB if you have more than 1 kid.

I have friends who send their kid to Frances Parker. It made sense when they lived in their old hood… but they’re in UC now. It’s definitely a BIG hit on their budget.
