ParticipantSantee, smoking crack?
hard to imagine, but then again many think 4s is super.
have a link to the crack homes in question?
just curious, I’m in escrow with a house and I may reconsider if the crack homes are nice with a two car limit in the front yard.

ParticipantSantee does have a lot of drugs like El Cajon and La Mesa
Based on police reports and what I hear. Plus its far from San Diego so it amazes me that builders want a lot for these homes.

ParticipantI have never understood why anyone would pay more than $200k for any of the homes in Santee.

ParticipantIts the Mission Possible hype.I am sure it’s a bust
September 23, 2007 at 4:54 PM #85636ParticipantBuilder Hyper to Bust?
I hope so. In light that prices are inflated beyond reason. No point in living 30-40 miles from the nice parts of San Diego. I betcha the commute on the 52 from Santee is an absolute nightmare.
I will do a 2 year test. If prices crash in beach part of San Diego then I stay. Else I move to another state where I can afford a 2000 square foot single family home.
2010 will be an interesting year!!!

ParticipantAs a matter of fact I live in Santee, and grew up here. Your perceptions are somewhat delusional. As everywhere there are drugs in Santee. However, Santee boasts one of the lowest crimerates in San diego county. We also have above average schools..
“No point in living 30-40 miles from the nice parts of San Diego. I betcha the commute on the 52 from Santee is an absolute nightmare. ”
NOPE, not really, there is traffic but it keeps moving.
The commute to downtown is like 20 minutes. La Jolla is 10 minutes. You don’t live here and you don’t have a clue to what you are talking about.
It’s desert hot, 2 months out of the year. It sucks! (You have to have air conditioning, and a pool.)
No place is perfect. For the money, it is in my opinion the best buy in the county. Good schools, safe neighborhoods, nice homes, short commute.)

Actually, they’re selling pretty well, most people feel differently.

ok, I’ll take yer word for it, but the school scores suck and I been there. It’s mostly like clairmont, a dump essentially, but if you think that is quality living, then fine. Bottom line is not too many people rushing to buy in Santeee-No??
glad you like it, stay there.

ParticipantI go to Santee for business. Santee is not 10 minutes to La Jolla. First you drive about 15 minutes on crowded Mission Gorge and then you have to drive about 25 minutes the whole length of 52 to the west.
The afternoon into Santee from San Diego is a nightmare. I drove it a couple of time and I won’t do it again.
The Santee Town Center does have all the big box stores and the last stop on the trolley line. But the trolley is so slow that if you think you can commute to Downtown on the trolley, you’re sadly mistaken.

GuestThe only way Santee is 10 minutes from La Jolla is by helicopter.
A co-worker was bragging about how great a deal their son got on a new place, good view, low 500s and all the upgrades. Then I asked them where it was, and they said Santee. I had to bite my tongue. I mean holy christ, how could any sane person pay 500K for a place in Santee?

You do not know what you are talking about. They are very good to very high. Average in the 70 percentile range. Most students test at above the 50 percentile.
The area is infact being upgraded ALL the time. We have LOTS of new construction. All of our elementary schools are going to undergo a make over and upgrading.
You have NOT looked at the test scores.
I will stay and hopefully YOU will stay away.
Of course “YOU CANNOT AFFORD”……..LOL

IT IS 10 minutes from my house to the end of 52 frwy, which ends in La Jolla.
I never drive down Mission Gorge to even go that way , you don’t have to when you live right off the freeway, you don’t know what you are talking about.
I drive it every summer to take my kids to the beach, sorry. It is not 10 minutes from every part. Just from one end of 52 to the other.
Every place has roads with lots of traffic, that will make a commute longer. "The afternoon into Santee from San Diego is a nightmare.
“I drove it a couple of time and I won't do it again.” "
Good stay away, rush hour traffic sucks. It is worse in the city.
“A co-worker was bragging about how great a deal their son got on a new place, good view, low 500s and all the upgrades”
We love our community, as I am sure you love yours. It is a great place to raise kids. We have a high percentage of military. It is a middle to upper middle class so folks tend to feel it is a good deal. I tends to be less expensive than the coastal areas. It’s fairly centrally located. I really think all the new communities are nice, but 500k anywhere is over inflated.
Listen if you don’t want to live here or come here that’s great.
People here like it, you like where you live,
BUT I WOULDN’T.

Distance from Santee on Mapquest:
Total Est. Distance: 19.17 miles
Across the 52 freeway is 14 miles, unless you drive 20mph on the freeway it DOES NOT TAKE 25 minutes! I drive 65, so it takes 10 minutes.
You NEED to bring DATA!
Local Demographics
Primarily
Middle to Upper Middle classhttp://www.ci.santee.ca.us/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=3
Low crime rates
From wikpedia,
AND I QUOTE “Santee has one of the lowest crime rates in the County and the city also prides itself on having a stable local economy, well-maintained streets and infrastructure, and family-based neighborhoods.” -
