Again – good stuff & thanks for the insight. Looking at the homes in “The Reserve” … they are more than our price range – not that these will drop by 2010 to our upper limit but the size is bigger than what we need too… 6000sq ft is mansion type in our minds. Our next house is our final house and we are looking for a “home” & community more than a house, in would be great to have this big of a house – but we clean our own home and anything over 4750 sq ft starts to be more home & effort than we need or want. The lot sizes for these homes are ideal. What of this quarry to be mined in Temecula – are big trucks part of the picture?

“Granite Construction Company is proposing to mine 155 acres on a 414-acre site just north of the San Diego County line between Interstate 15 and the eastern border of the…”

Is this your local paper for Temecula?

Could not believe as I pulled up the MLS listings for Temecula the number of homes currently listed and those listed greater than $1M … 186 properties listed over $1M! Did not realize Temecula was this big … or had this kind of money base. As I follow this site it is obvious the housing market is taking a major hit but really did not understand the extent.

Any other comparisons between Fallbrook, Temecula, and San Marcos (San Elijo Hills) would be appreciated … what is the commute like from Temecula these days to the back gate of Pendleton?

Thanks!

Good stuff & thanks! I understand an answer can vary widely from each perspective – the main reason I am here – to take it all in. I noted in one topic that the family-type of community/utopia no longer exist in S. Calf… anywhere. Another indicated a diverse mix of culture on their street but they had not talked to their neighbors in four years.

I think anywhere you are one attempts to maximize the positive and minimize the downsides. An ocean front 4-5 bdrm home with a perfect school district (for all grades), next to a community program for the kids, in my price range, without traffic may be a stretch these days but if most of this (even 3/4) could be found in a “particular” region of N. San Diego, maybe within commute to the Ocean then this is our desire. Fallbrook & Carlsbad are high on our initial survey but the area has changed so much – I am sure it no longer resembles what we knew. I like Carlsbad for the location but Fallbrook for the type of house we would get for our $. We value input like yours and hope for the insider’s perspective. I am starting this search from a remote spot – Micronesia and my trips to San Diego before our transfer in 2010 are limited to two … we will rent for a few months during the summer of our move but want to maximize the “inside knowledge” from others – and this website is the best tool we could find.
Thanks again.

Thanks for the input. We had not considered Temecula… you are right, after viewing a few of the MLS listings several great homes are noted. I will research the commute, average temp, community infrastructure, and as much as we can take in from this region. Anyone living in Temecula with strong opinions one way or the other? Is Temecula more like Riverside compared to San Marcos… to Fallbrook? What about home owner fees in this area … school district? We are in the early process of gathering information and do not want to limit anything. We will spend a week in N. San Diego region this fall to get a feel for things and changes since we departed & will spend a month next fall doing the same before our summer transition in 2010. I read this site daily – feedback like yours is priceless… Thanks!
