I think this is a socioeconomic issue and not racism. Most illegal immigrants are underprivileged Mexicans and they came here because they don’t have access to good job and or education at home. Naturally these illegal immigrants gravitate toward more affordable areas joining other poor and less educated Americans. The best predictor of educational success of a student is his or her parent’s educational attainment. So it is not surprisingly that schools in these poorer areas fail to meet the minimum standard that many parents want.

If I have children I want them to go to the best schools I can afford. Right now these better equipped schools with good test scores happen to be in Poway or Carmel Valley areas and not in Chula Vista.

Any comment on the listing price of $579K?

price range lowered to $579K-$596K. How about Half price?

SD Realtor, why is it that some people seem so down on MM? I am kinda new to SD and dont know the facts. Jimmyle, you seem to have done your research, any reasons?

Actually I live MM from 1995-99 while I was going to UCSD, I went back to OC and now back to MM again. I would say this is mainly a blue collar neighborhood and because of the high cost of housing in the area, probably more people live in one household than the US average. You tend to see lots of car park in the street. One thing I don’t like it here is that many people don’t maintain their front yards. My car got broken into once here. Schools are slightly better than the state average.

The North-West area of Mira Mesa is newer and mostly Middle class. It feels less crowded.

Previously I was thinking about buying a home here but the recent price decline enabled me to look else (Rancho Penaquitos, Scripps Ranch, and perhaps Carmel Valley) mainly because I want better schools for my children.

Now I have changed my mind. I wouldn’t buy this house at $300K.
