Clairemont most desirable areas

[Scarlett]

Kids can’t really judge a school at this age, can they?

As a kid I’d probably have been very happy with fewer classes and less homework, and had time to make more friends and play too. But in retrospect, it may not have been good for me in the LONG run. Peer influence is high – in good things as well as in bad things. If my classmates would not have listened to teacher, skip classes, etc. I’d probably have joined them at least some of the time. I’d have had a great time, and the approval of my peers, but not good for my education.

My point is, the kids would be happy in any school, they can’t discriminate at this age. So that’s why as a parent I am choosing for them to the best of my knowledge – within some limits. I am not going for the very best. Yes, it is up to the kid, but the schools and the demographic help a lot too.

30 years ago, only 30% of high school grads went to college. But in my age group, I think the % is at least twice that, if not higher. I don’t KNOW anybody in my peers who didn’t go to college.

Definitely 92126 is in our choices. I also think in 92121 we would be overextending ourselves. if it’s just a little work, it’s ok. we are not handy at all, plus busy. 92110 – I don’t think so, 921111 – only certain neighborhoods.

I don’t think elementary school is critical, but, since I said before in this thread, I don’t want to move yet again to anoter rental, I’d rather pick something really good now. If I can’t find it, I can keep renting where we are now and Doyle elementary to where we belong now is actually a good school.

1500 sq ft – single story would be ok. For a 2 story, It’d have to be great in many other aspects.

I was just saying that the goal of elem. school is to become socialized with other peers (in primary grades) and develop a hunger for future learning. The grades in elem. and middle are not factored in for college admission. I think attending a higher-scoring HS with say, more AP classes offered (like AN suggested) is the “bottom line.” Elem. and middle school grades don’t matter as much.

Actually, I’m in the demographic of 35-40 yrs. since HS grad – LOL. The only reason I posted a 34% degree college-degree rate is b/c many in my demo. grp. obtained college degrees in our 20’s and 30’s at night as adults, when our spouses were home taking care of kids. In my day, it was not uncommon to marry *before* HS graduation and appear at the grad. ceremony “livin’ large” (not me, tho) in a cap and gown (females, that is) read: shotgun 🙂

Unfortunately, most of the good “union” jobs in SD that could support a family on a GED or HS Diploma are GONE now.

My first apt. in SD was a spacious 1 br unit near Laurel St SD overlooking the entire bay and PL Lighthouse for $140 mo. (incl utils). I worked PT as a waitress/wine steward for a “union-shop” establishment and saved a TON of $$. Back then, it didn’t cost even 1/8 of what it costs today to live a modest life :{

My and MaLo are looking for a place very shortly. Like next month! Keep your eyes out for a nice rental for me!

I was think Bay HO or Park or Clairemont or UC.

Perfect for commutes and within striking distance of water activities!

If you see something lovely I will give you a Ben Ra’s finder fee!

Bay HO / Bay park is a cool place to rent. Love the views, but you get tired of not having a yard due to the sloped lots so it’s nice to rent, then get out.

Not buying ? Check out this very cool little spot in Bay Ho. It is a terraced series of 1-story houses. Houses are only on 1 side of the street and, I belive, no 2nd stories allowed.

This way, you can always see over your neighbors to the bay. A little pricey, and there is no big, flat back yard, but it is a very cool little area.

I rarely see anything for sale in this little section, so this is a pretty interesting opportunity – if you want to call “buying a house in a long stretch of no-growth at best” an opportunity 🙂

Two comps down the hill on Conner suggest this price may be a bit high.
