What year was the road Camino del Sur built?

[earlyretirement]

[quote=freshman]If you are going to buy there, why do you care about when the road Camino Del Sur was built ? You should think about the future . Camino Del Sur road is one way in and out , my friend lives there and complain about the traffic jam during peak hours.

If you drive there , you will see part of Camino Del Sur road is expanding one more lane now, because more people move in Del Sur and there is lot of land and new houses there. And it is the way going to west around that area instead of jamming in highway56.[/quote]

I was just curious..that’s all and why I wondered about when it was built as I wanted to compare the year homes were first sold to the year that highway went in.

I’m not too worried about traffic as I will most likely work out of a home office so I won’t have to worry about commute times. Basically noise is the only factor that I’m worried about.

I’ve already come to terms with having to pay high HOA and Mello Roos so it just comes down to the noise. I’m ok with not having too big of a backyard as we take the kids to the park quite a bit. It’s something that would be nice but not a necessity for us….

There aren’t so many great homes on the market that have 4/5 bedrooms with at least 3,500 sq. feet in the $1 million range which is what we’re looking for. I was hoping there would be more on the market in 92127 and 92130 (Carmel Valley) but really there isn’t many modern style move in ready that meet our criteria….. lots of homes that need renovated kitchens and bathrooms but not so many that are really great.

[quote=Eugene][quote=LAAFTERHOURS]Camino Del Sur was connected to Camino Del Norte (4s ranch) in the del sur area in 2006. Also, Carmel valley road was connected to whatever the road is on the southwestern edge of 4s near the middle school in 2006.

Strictly speaking, both these things happened in 2007.[/quote]

Yep you are right… was off a year.

Regarding potential impacts to traffic, like others have mentioned 4s is nearing build out, The lakes started a couple years ago and del sur is slowly gaining back the momentum it once had. Del surs master plan called for more commercial space and extended all the way over to where four gee and the high school are.

Regarding one way out going west, here is a real life example of how bad it could be. I moved in march 07 to 4s. Fires hit in october and we were evacuated early on that morning in 2007. We were informed by the Mayor/ TV that the 15 was shut down. When I awoke to this and looked out at camino del norte, it was packed at 6am in darkness. Little did anyone know that the 15 south was open but we didnt find this out until many hours later. It took us two hours to get from the western edge of 4s to the 56/5 interchange. People were driving in the median dirt, people were driving down the wrong direction divided road in between del sur and santaluz. It was a bit chaotic. Imagine if the fires were actually upon us at that point. Yes those communities are supposedly fire safe but evacuation routes are slim when the main artery is shut down.

earlyretirement, I am gathering from your posts that you are not currently living in SD County.

Can I just ask, if you will be working primarily from your home, why only TWO zip codes on your list? There are MANY zip codes in SD County that have fairly new construction homes with 3500 – 5000 sq feet ranging in price from $600K to $1M. Many of these properties have quite LARGE lots that DON’T suffer from arterial street or highway noise.

Some of these zip codes have homes with NO Mello Roos and NO HOA or LOW Mello Roos and SEVERAL arteries in and out of their respective areas.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with your choices – to each his own – but I’m curious as to how a potential buyer from out-of-county/out-of-state with whom location is really no object becomes fixated on TWO zip codes instead of branching their search out just a bit.

Sure…good question…. mainly school district and the style and look of the houses. We really love the look of many modern homes in Santaluz. Prices are MUCH lower in 4S and it’s still a great school district but the area doesn’t seem as high end and I’ve heard there is potential for it to get a bit run down in a few years…..

You’re right that we don’t yet live in the area….just vacation there every year in La Jolla.

Definitely I’m up for suggestions…what other zip codes would you suggest for modern homes that are mostly build after 2002 that are in the Poway or San Dieguito school district? The best options to me seemed like 92130 and 92127 but definitely I’m open to suggestions.
