About three weeks ago, I warned my husband that I wanted to acquire a few chickens so that I can enjoy guilt-free eggs.
He just rolled his eyes into his head like he so often does…his first question was, “who cleans the chicken coop?” He will, of course! π
We recently closed on a house with on a 1/2 + acre lot in Temecula and, according to the city of Temecula, I can have FOUR hens on a lot of that size.
The real question will be whether or not our HOA will allow hens in the backyard. My guess is a resounding “no.”

dharmagirlParticipantMarion,
If you want to “go coastal”, there is variety in SD County. Esp is you’re willing to live a few miles east of the beach. You certainly don’t HAVE to be in the La Jolla area to enjoy a nice beach.
I owned a 1400 sf condo in La Costa (Carlsbad). I loved living in SD and thought I would HATE North County – but, much to my surprise, I liked Carlsbad a lot. I was (I think) just under 3 miles from the beach – I could jump in my car and be watching dolphins play in the waves at Tamarack Beach in about 7-12 minutes.
Walking that beach every Sunday morning was my own personal “church service.”
I dont think I ever used my a/c in summer, and I had nice ocean breezes.
I’ve also been following the condo that I sold a few years ago for $385K (bought in 2003 for $300K) just for giggles. Zillow’s value range on the place now is $245-315K!! So, that area is certainly affordable by SD standards.
Some of the negatives about living at the beach: May Gray and June Gloom…summer tourist traffic and water that isnt swimmable for most of the year. Mind you, I still love the coast, but if you want to dip your toes in the water there are only a few months out of the year when you can truly do that.
Say, didnt you just buy a home in Harveston? If so, you may be there for a while….

dharmagirlParticipantWow! Look at the last photo in that listing.
The neighbor would be able to ALMOST reach out and shake your hand (or some other appendage) while you’re in your bath tub!
I am – as TG says – a “large lot lover”. Could not deal with that sort of “reach out and touch someone-ness” in my bathroom.
