Chula Vista better schools and newer construction

[quote=bearishgurl]Probably Bay Ho (92110) is out of your price range, but have you thought of Bay Park near the flats of Morena Blvd (still 92110)? Your kids would still be eligible to attend the same elem. school. I know a family in Bay Park whose kids are going to school in LJ. If I’m not mistaken, I think Bay Ho and/or Bay Park might be in the LJ High attendance area. Check it out.

Also, try UC’s east side for weed-infested former rentals or foreclosures for price. It’s a little cheaper and you’ll still get to attend UC High.

Don’t be so concerned about elem. school, esp. kindergarten. Your kids have a long way to go and K-3 is mandated to no more than 20 students per classroom in CA public schools. Believe me, I’ve had kids attend elem. school when there were 30+ students-per-room and one attending when there were only 20 students per classroom and there was a HUGE difference in the amount they learned and retained. Your main concern is how well the local high school prepares kids for college entrance. This is the bottom line.

– Bay Ho and Bay Park are NOT in the LJHS area. Bay Ho can choose between Mission Bay HS and Clairemont HS. Not sure about Bay Park – but since it’s south of Bay Ho – it’s not LJHS. LJHS does extend slightly outside of 92037 – by a few blocks in north PB. (aka Baja La Jolla.)

– The 20 kids max in K-3 went out the window this year due to budget cuts. My sons are both in this grade level – both are in classes larger than 20 at Curie Elementary.

Scarlett – there’s a new listing in UC that is awfully close to your criteria… 1683sf – but single level – so it lives larger… and listed for $560k.

Thanks UCGal, that indeed seems to be a very good match for me. I haven’t seen the house of course, but from the 4 pics it looks decent. I’d love to see more of the same on the market, not one now and one 6 months later. I am sure they already have multiple offers, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they are cash ones too. Looks very well priced to sell, unless something wrong with the house. Not quite ready to move right away since we just moved a little over 1 year ago and we don’t see harm in waiting till the end of the year at least. But we may see the house this coming weekend.

I suspect the house is kind of beat. Per the remarks and also the comments on the history page for that property it’s been a rental. The owner is a realtor who seems to put it on the market whenever it’s vacant – with a deadline he/she’ll re-rent it if no offers. But paint and carpet are cheap fixes relative to the overall cost.

I have a friend who lives at the other end of Robbins in the same model. His house was added onto a bit by the previous owner, but, ironically, they don’t use the added on section. My son’s best friend lives on the same block (different model). It’s a pretty nice, family oriented street. Only downside I see is that Curie is less walkable because of the big hill. (My friends drive to the top of Lipmann then walk from there.)

I didn’t state in my post that IT WAS A FACT that Bay Park/Bay Ho were in the LJ school attendance area, only that Scarlett should check this out. I only have INTIMATE knowledge of South County. I recently called my friends in Bay Park and it turns out they were using “grandma’s” address in LJ for school attendance purposes, for child care reasons. Their children are now out of elem. school and no longer attending LJ schools.

CVESD still has 20 children per classroom in K-3, except for one Charter school that I am aware of.

Regarding parents breaking their backs in attempt to buy properties in certain school attendance areas, I still maintain that it is the STUDENT and his or her FAMILY environment and NOT the school that determines the students GPA and thus what college he or she gets accepted to. Students from ALL HS’s are accepted to top colleges. The opportunity is there for ALL students EVERYWHERE to excel in a college-prep curriculum, if they CHOOSE to.

Conversely, I know a child whom most people would have considered to have grown up with many advantages but “flunked out” of Poway High School in the 10th grade. Her dad then placed her in an expensive local private high school, where she was caught vandalizing the school with other students ONE MONTH SHORT OF GRADUATION, so was expelled.

She is now 22, recently earned her GED and is attending Mesa College and working.

Don’t mean to shout – don’t know how to bold!
