San Diego. Why do you love it?

[Anonymous]

Thanks for your perspective, sdduuude. From what you posted, I can see why you like SD.

Just to clarify my previous post, I would need something nicer than the house I visited this weekend, but I can see why the person who lives there would live in it: It’s 3 miles from the beach. He doesn’t have the income to remodel it though.

sduuude, I agree with you about the terrain. It was beautiful and intriguing with all the hills.

Marion,

One thing you may not have realized. From Genesee and Appleton, if you go east a few blocks, then north a few blocks, you are suddenly in a pretty nice neighborhood with well-kept houses. It is really nice back there. Some of the houses back up to the canyons and there is a sense of seclusion.

So, you don’t have to live in a dump to be in Clairemont. It is funny around here. Good neighborhoods turn dumpy fast, and vice-versa. As soon as you get near canyonlands, the neighborhood improves.

Also, the houses here are well-built. Nice fir timber that has aged and hardened for the last 50 years.

Shopping is convenient and not crowded also.

We live in Clairemont, but we “beach” in La Jolla.

I also love the freeway access from Clairemont.
5, 805, and 52 all easy to get to and the 163 is pretty easy also. Name anything interesting in San Diego and we are 20 min away. Downtown, PB, Mission Bay, La Jolla, Del Mar, Mission Valley.

Across the 52 is University City. Same well-built houses. Same canyons. Same beach access. Nicer houses. Nicer neighborhoods and schools. Of course, more expensive.

As I go east in San Diego county, I think it gets too hot. I’d rather live in Phoenix than Poway, for example, given the same budget for a house.

Thanks, sduuude. This house was on Galt street.

We did drive around and I did see the better houses, nestled on hills, really nice.

San Diego is just a great place to live. I lived in SD for 15 years. I loved having out of town visitors over to share SD with. Taking a midwesterner to the mountains, the desert, and the beach in one day is a real trip.

I had clients visiting from Kansas City once. At the time I did a lot of sailing out of Harbor Island Yacht Club. For dinner I rented a sailboat and took them over to Peohe’s on Coronado Island. They were floored that they sailed to an island for dinner. Can’t do that in KC.

SD doesn’t have the shopping of OC. It doesn’t have the culture of NYC (lived there too). SD seems mostly to be burbs and strip malls that all look alike. But all in all it’s a great place to be, where it’s not at all hard to enjoy life.

BTW, Marion, lately I’ve been looking at Temecula instead of waiting longer for SD to turn around. One of the Temecula cons for me is that it’s so far from any major universities. How did you manage to get your Masters while living up there?
