Scripps Ranch is worth checking out – easy commute downtown via 15->163 and into La Jolla by 52. It is an area with excellent schools and a lot of families with children.
If you get anything from this board, you will want to SERIOUSLY consider renting. As we see real estate prices continuing to fall, buying seems like a losing proposition in many ways.
For $3,000/month, you should be able to rent a very nice, very respectable family home in Scripps Ranch.
I think that the traffic getting in and out of Carmel Valley is horrific, but to each his own.

October 30, 2007 at 3:57 PM #93268louiseParticipantMaybe we should rent first year, but as I wrote above, I don’t want to rent a $M house, so we have to buy somewhere else and the kids will loose the friends. But I do understand your point, you can rent a very nice home now for a good price. I will commute to La Jolla everyday, my husband travels a lot, so it would be better to live closer to my work. We have looked at Carlsbad, but how long does it really take to go from there to La Jolla? Temecula is too far, I think. Thanks both of you for your reply.

October 30, 2007 at 4:00 PM #93275kewpParticipantI just had a crazy idea.
Find some condo conversion that is going up for auction and buy a two-bedroom for the adults and a studio for the kids.
Might be able to get it under 500k?

October 30, 2007 at 4:06 PM #93281louiseParticipantThat would be so nice, then maybe me and my husband would have the chance to get more kids π I think a 5 year old could be responsible for his own meals and read his own bedtime story π Hmmm, just in case, any other suggestions?

October 30, 2007 at 4:06 PM #93284XBoxBoyParticipantCommute from Carlsbad down to La Jolla, and then for your husband to downtown is in a single word…. UGLY! I would think an hour each way.
The I-5 through north county is very backed up going south in the morning and going north in the evening. Expect speeds of 10-20mph the whole way.
Take a look at this traffic map during a typical commute time and I think you will see lots of red on it on the I-5

Unless you really want to spend hours on the freeway, I wouldn’t suggest Carlsbad.
