coronado/la jolla/ rancho santa fe/ del mar

[HomeShopping]

I think you might be referring to the show “Addicted to Beauty.” I know the producers like to show scenes in La Jolla, but the spa is actually located off El Camino Real in Carmel Valley (92130 zip code).

FYI, I heard that many in the cast in the show are actors and not real spa employees. If you haven’t seen it, don’t bother. One of the worst of its kind.

[quote=investor]bearishgurl: Thank you for the info. Marin county is very attractive, but colder than I am looking for. I want to walk out of my front door and be in 70’s weather instantly, 365 days a year. (I thought about hawaii but I’m not sure if I want to put up with the anti-haole feeling that is growing there). I’ve had enough of delayed gratification in my life. San jose would be good but I’m competing with the $$$ of silicon Valley for housing, an unnecessary expense. What about living in coronado between the commuter streets and the del, so that I am tucked into the neighborhood but close enough to walk to the village and the ocean? That was my impression of del mar as well. Having proximity to shops/ocean but tucked into a neighborhood that is safe, private and appropriate. I thought that la jolla might be the same way but most folks on this thread don’t seem to like the feel of living in la jolla. Rich as well. (the program, which was filmed in la jolla, “hooked on beauty” is exactly what I am trying to avoid.) Again, thank all of you for your expert info.[/quote]

Yes, Flu, I had considered recommending to investor RPV and Laguna Beach. But he is from an area of 1-4 acre wooded lots with a wide rugged river rushing through replete with a natural waterfall with large boulders and river rock AND less than 15 miles to DC! It almost resembles a (colder foilage) example of the island of Kauai, sans the moss and palms.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t the waterfront homes in RPV inside of a convenant and/or HOA? If there are actually beaches there, aren’t they small and private, like Laguna Beach? I have not been inside RPV but have only seen it from binoculars from the green bridge (this dates me – LOL) outside Long Beach. Since investor was looking for a non-commercial place to semi-retire, I did not know if he would be interested in living inside of a covenant/HOA.

TexasLine made some good points about Coronado. Yes, some of the streets are wide but I maintain that investor and his wife would feel too claustrophobic living there.

investor, I’m sure you’re aware Coronado is NOT 70 degrees 365 days a year. It has its share of cold breezes and rain and 50 degree weather, just like the rest of the CA coast. I’ve also rode bikes there in 90 degree weather. I don’t think there’s anyplace in the continental US with 70-degree weather 365 days a year 🙂

Well, the dude said he was going to get a 2/2 3/2. Which I would pretty much eliminate most SFH…Hence, that would probably mean HOA. But as far as HOA are concerned, the it depends on where you live.

RPV older communities, ones with actual yards, aren’t usually subject to HOA. If, however, you decide to purchase in newer areas, like former Marineland/Donald Trump’s pet project, etc, well you would have HOA.

RHE has both older/newer communities, some not under HOA.

In PVE…Good luck…The city pretty much controls what you can and can’t do, and hefty fines.
