Clairemont most desirable areas

[sdduuuude]

Getting out before the kids get to high school may be a plan. It is, indeed, ours.

Holmes, I believe, is one of the better ones. Neighbors who go there are happy with it. Choice into Curie or other UTC school to avoid Madison High and Clairemont High.

I wonder how easy it is to successfully choice into another school, like UC or LJ, and what would be the criteria to be approved. we work in LJ so LJ schools may work better logistically.

Scarlett, they *were* “cookie-cutter* houses at one time, because they are on a tract. This is the beauty of a mature subdivision. The plans that ARE alike don’t LOOK alike anymore because of the aged trees, tall foilage, and extensive remodeling of previous and current owners.

The building of the *two-story* model on tract was not common until the mid-late seventies. Before that, the one-story “ranch-style” was the most common tract home, very often built on generous lots.

When you begin to view property in your price range, many properties will have windows which are 4-5 feet from the floor. Don’t worry so much about that because you can change some or all of them later. Remember that the std. 8′ ceiling will not waste utilities like the “vaulted” ceilings commonly built beginning in the mid-seventies. And you may need to overlook outdated appliances. The good news is, Sears Outlet has a huge warehouse of overstock and slightly (inconspicuously) damaged appliances, some top-of-the-line and is less than 10 mins. away, west of Morena Bl. at Sherman St (open to the public). And you can install round skylights in the dark hallway.

Keep an open mind and remember, LOCATION! And keep us Piggs posted if you are able to view any good lots along the canyon rim.

Here’s the link to the district school choice thing.

http://www.sandi.net/20451072011450793/site/default.asp

Once the child is accepted at the elementary – younger siblings are automatically accepted also. And they’re in to that middle and high school. (So choicing into Birdrock will ensure your child can go to La Jolla HS.)

Consider also applying for magnet schools that feed into relatively better high schools. Spreckels, in UC, is a magnet – and it would ensure your child went to Standley middle and UCHS.

You can apply for BOTH magnet and choice – so you double your odds of getting out of your home school boundary.
