CV vs 4S?

[Jack]

I wanted to get people’s feedback on Carmel Valley and 4S Ranch. My wife and I are looking to buy sometime this year, but with our budget we can only afford a ~1500-1600 sqft townhome in CV, or a ~1800-2000 sqft detached in 4S (based on some of the properties I’ve seen). We’re trying to decide which area we would prefer to buy in. For those of you who live in these areas, what are some of the pros and cons of each? I have only driven around on a few occassions, so I wouldn’t consider myself to be super familiar with either area. Trying to decide between a small attached place with easy access to all freeways, or more spacious detached place that we won’t outgrow so quick but is “out there” compared to CV. Would one be considered a better long-term investment or hold its value better than the other?
Thanks for any feedback.

I can only speak for myself. I don’t need a big place and so if I had a choice between the two, I’d pick CV. To me, closer to the beach and downtown. Schools are good too, although, I hear Poway school district is the best. Do you have kids, plan on having kids?

Another consideration are HOAs and MRs and I’m sure those are higher in 4$. However, nice to have a detached house and the ones in 4$ are certainly much newer and nicer and larger. That is important to many people.

It’s a personal decision you will have to make and weigh what’s more important to you. Traffic on 15 can get rough at rush hour. Well, who am I kidding. The merge and 56 can get bad, too.

I don’t think I helped you much. Telling you what I’d do wouldn’t apply to your preferences. I can say that I’ve seen more price declines in 4$ than CV. Would that indicated CV holds their value better or that 4$ was overpriced?

I'd pick closer to the ocean. Not to mention closer to Sorrento Valley, Clairemont, and easy access to 5 and 805.

CV for me.
