Thanks, allan!

Have you ever heard of the “Third Place” concept? I read about this last summer…about places in communities that people go to, that are not work or home. For example, the local coffee shop, book store, etc.

I think “Cheers” was the ULTIMATE third place – where everybody knows your name, etc..

The Wiki description is much better: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Place

There are few of these types of places in Temecula. Old Pacific Coffee

The thing that I like about Fallbrook is that it feels like a “real” small town, with plenty of Third Places. My husband and I had dinner at the Bistro one night, and everyone knew each other. It kind of reminds me of some midwestern towns that I’ve spent time in.

What do you think of the real estate situation in Fallbrook? Are there deals to be had? I know it will be more expensive than Temecula, but we plan to explore it.

Thanks again.

Wow. I had no idea about Tom Metzger. That’s a wild story.

I work from home, so commuting time is ZERO. OK, maybe 15 seconds to stumble from bed to my desk in the morning.

My husband, however, works in Temecula. He does work with someone from Fallbrook, and that person touts the cooler weather (supposedly 10 degrees cooler in summer?) and lack of cookie-cutter/homogeneity as real assets. I think he could always drive the back roads thru De Luz if he had to.

I also like being even a little closer to San Diego. Even if it is only 18 miles.

I was more concerned about the overall “culture” of the place. From my few forays into town, I thought it had a “Mayberry USA” kinda feel. I was attracted to the community’s involvement in arts, and overall “community” feel.

I’m pretty worried about the GLUT of tract homes for sale in Temecula, which may leave some communities with a high percentage of rental homes. My biggest fear is that we’ll buy our “Dream” home and will be surrounded by renters who dont take care of the homes. I’m already seeing that in some areas of Redhawk (where we rent now).

Hi Marion,

I’m not sure where Rancho Bella Vista is, but I live in the Redhawk area and there are renters on the corner who have basically trashed the house. There is REO next to them, and last week I walked down to look at the backyard (it has a pool and a bit of a view). There was trash ALL over the neighbors yard. I mean, like old food containers, diapers, all kinds of stuff that should not be blowing around one’s yard.

They are often hanging around their garage, listening to loud music, working on cars. It just looks tacky. Their xmas decorations blew over (a big plastic globe on the lawn) and, as of today, it still hasnt been cleaned up.

So, how do you find a community where the rules are, “No Trashy people allowed”. Just kidding. I think even in the more expensive communities, it’s always a crapshoot.

One neighborhood that I like A LOT is Meadowview. The lots are larger and it feels more established. I have serious concerns about some of the newer communities.

We’re going to continue to explore Temecula, but may consider Hidden Meadows (North Escondido) or Fallbrook, too.

Sigh.

P.S. I have a cat who is a CHAMPION barn cat/mouser. We dont have a mice problem, so I think he’s bored. If you need help with mouse control, let me know. He’d love to live in your garage for a day and take care of business!
