Sorrento Valley / Calle Cristobal

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…

I always thought school district is non-issue as far as selling the house. Because if the school district is not good, you get to buy the house for cheap also.

This can only be an issue if schools that had good reputation when you bought, suddenly became worse when you sold.

Thus if you don’t have kids to send to school, it might be actually better to buy in not so good school district. You pay less and hold a lottery ticket if somehow the schools change for better in future.

If you buy in a good school district (but not use its schools), you are in exactly opposite situation.

In the Calle Cristobal area, drive the streets of interest both during the day and at nite. You’ll see several houses with 4 or more cars parked out front. Lots of shared rental houses in that area.

I’ll agree with this.

And as I mentioned – if you do have schools you have options – you can apply to magnet schools or charter schools in SDUSD. You can also try to “choice” into better schools. I have friends in Kensington that have done this successfully. And as I mentioned above, my coworkers did this.
