Suggestions for Area Search Greater SD

[SD Realtor]

It really depends on what your priority is. Is it land or is it home? Is it coastal (within 5-10 miles) or not? How about Mello Roos or HOA fees? Does age of the home matter to you?

There are really some substantial variables that you can help us with so that we can make recommendations that are more pertinent to your needs.

For instance, the Olivenhain area that sdrealtor mentioned is definitely one of my personal favorites. The entire area kind of back around the Lone Jack area is very very cool and it may match what you are looking for. Lots of homes back there on large lots and they are not cookie cutter types. The prices out there have been REALLy sticky though and I think this area will continue to be sticky. Lots of heavy equity and established homeowners out there. I eyeball it alot for myself but am simply way priced out of there. Nothing really decent there under 1.2 right now at the bare minimum. Again though I would agree with sdr that it is one of the best hidden gems in the county.

Also please don’t confuse sticky with immune. Alot of people here hear the words sticky and they confuse that with immune.

There are alot of other areas as well. Again though I am a bit hesitant to just fire them off because for all I know they will not really match what you want. Does commute matter to you at all, and if so where do you commnute to? Again, if you could throw in some more personal preferences as I mentioned above we could help refine our recommendations.

Thanks,folks.

Near coastal would most likely be the choice. Seeking a bedroom community,with homes on large leafy lots with what I call “buffers”,(strict zoning, open space, golf courses,etc.),but also proximity to some “cosmopolitan” areas for dining, shopping, cultural activities, (La Jolla, Del Mar ?). Have no problem with older homes, location and lot size being paramount while McMansion cookie-cutter developments a no-no. Commute and fees a non-issue, primarily interested in lifestyle and surroundings/location, not just shelter. For purposes of comparison, currently live in North Scottsdale, AZ.,(if anyone familiar),which offers a few of the “environmentals” desired in SD area, but of course not as good as SD, in my opinion.
Thanks again.

If you want coastal for 1.6 mil you have to trade in the space. The farther East you go the more space generally speaking. Also, it’s very difficult to find non cookie cutter in S.D. county. I’m having the same problem. For coastal non cookie cutter I’ve been looking at Fire Mountain in Oceanside which is a nice little enclave. Also, old Carlsbad. The whole area by the coast on both sides of highway 78 has unique homes. If you want land and unique you have to look at Vista, Escondido, Poway, etc. all of the more inland stuff. Good luck!

Dont confuse more words with more accurate information. There are plenty of opportunities in Olivenhain and some other even more interesting pockets nearby along the coast. I could name a half dozen awesome little niches that would fit what you just described.
