Scripps Ranch…What say you…

[SD Realtor]

Hi Scarlett

I am here. Scripps still has pretty strong demand. I had posted about Stonebridge recently and our adventures with properties there on the auction block. Right now you have 128 actives and I think 37 pendings and another 10 or 11 pending. Also out of those 128 actives some of them are offers from builders of non built up stock yet. So the true resale active/pending ratios are pretty much in favor of the sellers. As I said demand is strong though, people like Scripps. If you are looking for a quick drop it is not gonna happen. However there are some (not many but some) listings where people thought they could once again fetch a premium and those listings are gonna hafta fish or cut bait. However as numbers go, Scripps is holding up pretty strong right now.

SD Realtor, what do you think about the Serenity homes? There is one on the market for $899k with over $50k in upgrades. Also, there is a Sanctuary home on the market for less than $1 million.

MLS# 100041746 and 100011655

[quote=GoUSC]I wanted to get some opinions on Scripps Ranch, specifically the area east on Pomerado and down off of Fallbrook Road. We have been mostly looking coastal (La Jolla, North PB, Point Loma, Mission Hills). Never really considered going this far inland but there seem to be some very nice 80’s era homes (single floor) in this area. What say you guys?[/quote]

I just want to comment on the neighborhood. My wife and I and our two kids live in Scripps Ranch, and we love it here. We live in the newer part, North of Spring Valley Rd and South of Scripps Poway Parkway.

What I think sets Scripps Ranch apart from 4S Ranch, PQ, RB, etc is the whole thing feels like a real community. If you’re at Starbucks or the market, especially with a kid, it’s easy to strike up a conversation with strangers. People are polite and friendly, and take pride in the community. The area is spotless, and people will just randomly pick up trash to keep it that way. People walking their dogs will wave at you, and if you smile they smile back.

This may seem like standard human interaction, but it is a huge contrast from areas like Carmel Valley, where the newer faux riche element can be very stand off-ish. In a nutshell, people here that have Suburbans are loading in their 3 kids while wearing normal clothes. People in CV with Suburbans have chromed up 20’s and are just driving themselves and their lap dogs while wearing the latest runway nonsense.

We’ve recently been looking for a larger home, so have revisited all the other suburbs: CV, Rancho Penasquitos, Rancho Bernardo, 4S Ranch, Del Sur, Poway, etc. We just can’t shake the feeling that Scripps Ranch is the best of the bunch. Parts of PQ, RB, and Poway can be real holes by contrast.

One last note on schools: The local schools continue to win awards (especially elementary), but if your child doesn’t like them, you can apply for an interdistrict transfer and attend Poway schools. The Stonebridge area is Poway schools only, which can be a pro or con depending on your perspective. Scripps Ranch schools vs the Poway schools you would be attending are basically identically rated.

I have to agree with you 100%. Old Scripps Ranch feels like an established community with a lot of long-term residents. This is not the case in 4S Ranch or even CV. The only concern is the fire risk in this area.
Stonebridge may be a different story where a lot of newcomers live.
I am very interested in finding a nice home in Scripps Ranch once the prices are coming down further.
