    Yep – what AN said.

    I have coworkers that live there. But they’ve “choiced” their kids into a different high school.

    It’s a decent amount of house for the money. Same weather as Carmel Valley, but cheaper prices and less stellar schools.

    We considered purchasing there – but factored in private school for our budgeting. If you don’t have kids and /or don’t plan to sell in the future, the school issue is a non-issue.

    You get what you paid for, if you have kids and want the best school you can find, then CV is definitely better and you’ll pay for it. But if you want to put up w/ the hassle, you can always do inter/intra-district transfer. I don’t get why it would matter if you have to sell in the future, since you bought a house in 92121 for cheaper, you can’t expect to sell it for the same as a house in 92130.

    I lived there for a while. Everything that AN says is correct. Few other negatives that I would add are

    (1) Even the basic shopping like groceries can be too far. You have to drive. (But now they opened a small grocery store on Camino Santa Fe.)

    (2) People drive really fast on calle Cristobal and Sorrento Valley rd. (small annoyance)

    (3) Carefully choose your street. Some rented houses are full of partying college students.

    Good stuff on the comments.

    The school question is the big delta. We don’t have kids but understand that school districts have real impact on house prices.

    It seems like Carmel Valley has a golden halo on the school front…
