scripps ranch vs. sabre springs

[Lurky Lou]

I am wondering if anyone could comment on the differences between scripps ranch and sabre springs (other than the different school districts, which has already been discussed extensively in other threads). They are directly adjacent, and seem almost interchangeable. Prices appear reasonably comparable, perhaps with SS coming in slightly cheaper. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
-Lou

I agree with you, I can’t seem to tell them apart either. the houses all look the same, with the same colored exterior. if you don’t know the neighborhood it becomes very easy to get lost in there.

what is interesting is it isn’t just the houses that look exactly the same, the landscape all seem exactly the same too. even the portable basketball hoop in front of every other house…

Yes, pretty much the same. I lived for a few years in the south Sabre Springs area near creekside school, we shopped in the Scripps Ranch area off Mercy pkwy. The only difference is the school district. Poway unified is the best, although Scripps Ranch has some of the best school scores of San Diego Unified, so it really is a wash. If you like big trees then SR is for you, although a lot of homes burned due to those pretty trees…

Actually I think there is a vast difference. As mentioned Scripps is SDUSD and Sabre is PUSD. Stonebridge however is PUSD as well. The variety of homes that Scripps offers contrasts widly and I break it down to 4 distint types/areas. Stonebridge is the newest with the largest homes and as you go deep in, the large lots. Tradeoffs include more home for your money with little to no community infrastructure and possible proximity to power lines. Getting in and out is viewed by some as a problem and by others as not a problem. Old Scripps south of pomerado is desireable and is a mix of older homes which most have been kept up, (built in the 70s) and new ones to replace those that burned in the fires. The main fire damage was done in this part of scripps. BTW this is my favorite part of Scripps but that is just personal choice. Old Scripps north of pomerado but south of spring canyon has a diverse selection of older homes built in the 70s with pockets of 80s vintage stuff as well. This is viewed as a step down from living sout of Pomerado and of course it is where I live now and enjoy it and have no complaints at all. New Scripps north of spring canyon is the carbon copy of Sabre Springs homes, maybe a bit larger and those that sit with a view are nice. New Scripps on the west side is a step above Sabre Springs as well in terms of home sizes, pricing and desireability. Sabre Springs is nice and I would characterize it as a cheaper alternative to 4S with 80s/90s stock of homes and served by PUSD. So yes SS and part of Scripps are very similar but only 1 part of Scripps.
