Mira Mesa — flight noise and desirable areas?

[jimmyle]

Flight noise in MM is no different than SV. If your budget is around 4$00k to $500k, you can buy a nice newer home (1992 or newer) in NW Mira Mesa. Do you have school age children? If yes, you might want to consider PQ which is about $50-$75k more expensive than MM but has excellent Poway schools. MM has above average schools. If you have no school age children and you work near SV or La Jolla, NW MM is ideal for budget under $500k. From NW MM, it is about a 5-7 min drive to SV. Usually there is no traffic even at peak time. Below are some threads discussing properties in NW MM. I just bought in NW MM so I know quite a bit about the area after three years of research. However, AN is the MM expert here.

It is not true that Miramar does not fly at night. At least once a month they do touch and goes to certify their pilots in night landings/takeoffs. It’s over before 10pm though… probably before 9pm.

They also fly on weekends. Especially the weekend of the airshow – where it seems all noise restrictions are out the window. This was an issue when my kids used to nap. Not so much anymore. But on airshow weekends (once a year) it’s not uncommon to have it so loud that car alarms go off.

I live in UC – so we’re under the flight path. It’s true you get used to it. I don’t have to interrupt conversations very often… that happens more in Sorrento Mesa during the day.

Here’s some info from the Marines about the noise patterns.

You might also be interested in the accident potential zone… Especially folks in Carmel Valley and west Mira Mesa… the flight path out of Miramar is NOT due west… It heads north and then out over torrey pines golf course. The idea was to avoid dense residential.

There is a hidden gem of custom homes in Mira Mesa (more like Sorrento Mesa). But very expensive. For the price, people would buy there only if they truly LOVE the location.

I’ve been there. It’s a nice street with canyon views.

I think flight noise is a little different between MM and SV. I see planes fly north west a lot, so I assume their flight path is north west. In SV, I would have to speak a lot louder or stop when the planes are directly on top of you, while in MM, it’s not nearly as bad. If you’re looking for 2000+ sq-ft houses, NW MM will be on average ~30k more than SW MM for a comparable house. They will be building a new elementary school for SW MM (starting this Summer) if that matters to you. The biggest differences for me when looking at 2000+ sq-ft houses in MM and comparing NW and SW MM is the HOA. Because of HOA, NW MM will look more well maintained while SW MM is a more hit and miss depending on the owner. However, due to the fact that there’s no HOA, you tend to see a lot more big trees.

This house: http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-110019029-10555_Dabney_Dr_San_Diego_CA_92126 went pending after just a week on the market. Not sure what it’ll close at, but since it’s only on the market for 1 week, my guess is it’ll be closer to the high end of the asking price. Similar property in NW MM would probably sell for low to mid 500k.
