Clairemont most desirable areas

[quote=bearishgurl]I’ll repeat this. ALL CA PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS HAVE AN EXIT EXAM AND OTHER STRICT REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION. THEY *ALL* MUST FOLLOW THE SAME CURRICULUM TO GRADUATE SENIORS. Opportunities abound in the AP classes in every school and IB Programs, as well as math/science/tech magnets such as High Tech High in Liberty Stn. San Diego. It is actually EASIER to get accepted into the UC system in schools where there are more “lower-scoring” or ESL students because the UC system accepts a top percentage of graduates FROM EACH SCHOOL.[/quote]
Although all CA public HS have to take the same exit exam, it’s the amount of AP classes available and the competition the child experience during school that help prepare to student for college. If you go to a school that doesn’t have as many student interested in a certain AP class, then that class get cancelled. The more students interested in AP classes, the higher the likelihood that all available AP class would be offered.

Also, there are data out there that shows how well the student from certain HS perform at UC. That data doesn’t lie. Students who went to Torrey Pine HS got better GPA in UC system vs many other HS in the county. I attribute their performance at a University level to their environment in HS.

I agree that at the end of the day, it comes down to the individual child. However, those who constantly have to compete with high caliber peers will be more ready to compete with even higher caliber peers at a UC level. VS those who went to a school that have less competition and they breeze through HS with little competition.

I kind of agree with AN here, though I am not obsessed with scores and such. But I think it’s important that the majority of parents appreciate a good education, help out, volunteer/raise funds,etc. and their kids are also likely to be in general competitive. Sure it depends on the kid, but why not help with the class environment a little if we can. Not going to the extremes though.

No, it is not my first home. We had a townhome in north Rancho Bernardo, bought in 2004, sold in 2007 (broke even). I can certainly wait, and rent longer if need be. I sold the house because of the commute length (oh yeah, and the bubble was begining to pop). That’s why I am looking at a short(er) commute into LJ. And the 500K CV (92130),LJ townhomes are too small and expensive IMHO, even with the great schools they have. In fact, I decided I’d rather rent for LONG time rather than put up with a long commute. Clairemont sounds like a good compromise – short commute, no HOA or MRs if we could get choiced in UC schools.

Alternative is to buy a townhome in those complexes off 5/La Jolla Village Dr. (behind Ralphs/TJ shopping center(e.g. Southpointe)- La Jolla zip code, goes to Torrey Pines. But the community is not exactly what we wanted – lots of rentals, especially students. Plus HOAs, or even MRs for CV. We may end up doing that though.

There is always the “try before you buy” option: Rent in Clairemont for a year. Get to know the area. Learn the market. Keep an eye out for the right house.

At the same time, you shorten your commute and maybe save some money to aim for UC instead of Clairemont.

I’d say prices will be flat to down a bit in a year, too.

Great advice !
There’s nothing like living in a community to understand the nuances of neighborhoods.
