    This is my first post and I was looking for input on what people thought the area of Encinitas and home prices? We are a family of 5 and looking primarily for schools. Currently, we rent in Village Park and I like it, but I feel the prices are too high for the shape of the homes. My husband wants to get closer to the beach, but some of the areas do not look as kid-friendly as east of El Camino Real. My goal is a 4 bedroom 2 bath in Flora Vista school area. Any recommendations on the outlook?

    You are in my backyard. To stay in Flora Vista you will have to stay east of ECR. The only exception would be Cambria/mendocino which I think is zoned FV. If you want the most bang for the buck and still be in nice family area zoned for FV there are two townhome complexs that I like. Seagate Village which has a 4BR/2.5BA 1650 sq ft floorplan (its actually 3 + office but all are upstairs) would be the most affordable way in. I used to live in one and liked it there alot. The other option is Summerhill (twinhome actually a PUD) which has 2 different 4BR floorplans (about 2000 sq ft) and very low HOA fees. Other than that there are the sfr neighborhoods that surround them.

    There is defintely room for a decline in this area. The challenge is that it is all very well established with mostly long term ownership. That does not bode well for a sharp decline in pricing over the short term. Havent checked prcing lately but if you could get a SV 4BR town home under 400 or a SH 4BR twin under 500 you wouldnt be doing to bad. I’ll check prices when I have more time and will provide a better idea.

    Just ran a quick check and SV townhomes are already in that range. There was an REO lisitng at 365K which probably went higher but was a good location in that complex.

    SH lowest 4BR sale was 535 a few months ago.

    FWIW, when we bought our townhome we could have gotten a house in VP but went for the townhouse because we liked the area better.

    Thank you. I will definitely look into the SV and SH townhomes. 365 – 400 sounds right!
