I was just trying to give everyone my opinion as an owner up here in Sky Ranch. I had to do a lot of research before we bought, so I’m just sharing what I found out about Santee in the process. Everyone else must make their own informed decision. I’m just trying to help.

Opinions are a dime a dozen, right?!

LOL on the 10-15 mintues to La Jolla! I didn’t realize it was an inside joke. No way could you make it to La Jolla in 10-15 minutes unless you were driving super fast. Here is an analysis, not based on opinion:

According to Google maps it’s 20.5 miles, just about all Freeway except on leaving Sky Ranch and entering La Jolla Shores.

At 60 mph, on avg, that’s about 30 minutes

At 70 mph, on avg, that’s about 18 minutes

At 80 mph, on avg, that’s about 15 minutes

At 100 mph, on avg, with Radar, that’s about 12 minutes!!!!

If you’re daring, you could drive 200 mph and get there in about 6 minutes.
:-p

So, for anyone saying you can’t get there in 10-15 minutes, it all depends on how fast you drive. No traffic and all green lights, mostly 52 freeway, and at 100 mph, on avg, yes you could! 12 minutes to be exact.

No no, not any of you folks on this thread….Long timers have an inside joke on Santee. Not so much the area as so much about some claims for supporting it… Even how little time it takes to get to La Jolla.

A trip down memory lane….Sorry, back in my more youthful years, I tended to be much more of an ass. Now I’m just three quarters of an ass.

As 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.)

Too funny about the old thread.

Reading these claims of 10-15 minutes to the beach crack me up. I live in UC – which is a heck of a lot closer to La Jolla shores… It takes us at least 10 minutes. Google Maps estimates 12 minutes. 2 miles by crow = 5 miles by car and there are pesky stop lights/stop signs, speed limits, narrow streets by the shores parking lot. Unless you live, literally, on the free entrance – it’s going to take you 25-30 minutes from Santee.

I’ve heard people call University City “La Jolla Adjacent” – always cracked me up. Never thought I’d here someone imply Santee was La Jolla Adjacent.

I don’t have any problem with Santee as a community. Like I said – an extended family member is actively looking at homes there because they are more affordable, but still a decent commute.

But the odds of Las Colinas being moved are about the same odds as Miramar shutting down (the negative issue of my neighborhood.) They’re both there to stay. They’ve been there too long to expect otherwise.
