Participant[quote=bearishgurl]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.[/quote]
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.

Participant[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.

ParticipantI find Zillow for the most part wildly inaccurate with what is really going in the marketplace. But I still like to utilize it just for kicks and giggles when looking at properties I’m evaluating. If anything, I like the fact that you can get the asking price history which isn’t listed on many sites like RedFin. I get a kick sometimes out of seeing reality set in for some owners that have been trying to sell for years and years.
Here is one of my favorites.

Zillow says the house is worth $1.5+ million and they can’t dump it for much much lower than that. Notice the asking price history since 2008.
