[quote=barnaby33]It is with a very heavy heart that I say this but if you are willing to consider Escondido you have two options. First get your head examined. You obviously have some emotional issues that need professional care. Two look in Temecula. In the price range you are looking at its not even a comparison at this point. Temecula will offer far better value.

I’ll second all of that. I grew up in Escondido and just closed on a beautiful place in Temecula (for $250k-ish as it happens). It’s 20 minutes from the 79 to the 78 and so worth it.

Find a house like this MLS#: 090029363 then hope you don’t get out bid and the appraisal comes in lower than the asking price, that’s my advice. If you like living in the city Oak Park is a nice cheap neighborhood.

Temecula will offer far better value.

Of course there are other factors to consider, like how far you are willing to commute, but just based on desire to own and your price range, I’d say Temecula, or Ramona are your best bets.

East Lake is newer, but you should try commuting down Telegraph Canyon rd at 7:30 on a Monday before you make any offers. I’d also recommend trying to find a non-chain decent restaurant anywhere near there, good luck.

Temecula offers far better value, as long as you don’t try to commute to central San Diego from there. Homeownership isn’t worth spending 3 hours/day behind the wheel.

250k is not enough to get into Eastlake. And most Eastlake houses have HOAs and Mello Roos. You could get a place closer to 300k with $200/month in fees on top of the mortgage payment.

There aren’t really any nice areas closer than Temecula where you can buy a detached house for 250k. My advice is to rent.
