ParticipantCommute wise, UC and Mira Mesa would be first choices…(except buying a small townhome in LJ zip code – near LJ Village Square). Schools in those will certainly be good enough too. Now the problem is finding a decent enough house at a decent enough price… I suppose given the schools and commute advantages we should be able to compromise on size (for 500K range).
Edit: A cursory look tells me that there was no SFR currently for sale in UC for ~500K, and just a handful in 600K range. Probably we can’t afford UC area unless we buy something REALLY tiny or a townhome with huge HOAs. It seems that Mira Mesa it is…API scores are better than I thought for those schools. Not that the API is the be-all and end-all necessarily but still.

ParticipantAN, what do you think about the Westview Pkwy places? I’ve seen a couple of 2000sf newer houses (yr 2000) for less than 500K. They have HOA of ~150 or so, and MR under 100, that’s fine. I kind of like the newer stock. What do you think about that neighborhood of MM? thanks

ParticipantMaybe we should just rent for the first couple of years of school in the general area we want to buy….especially if we feel it’s a big compromise in either commute or schools or home size or age (translates from price)…. to see if we really like it…. I don’t think prices are going up any time soon, and the rates won’t be go up much either….
I am inclined towards a short commute, but damn, I’d hate to buy a larger condo or apt. in UTC. there are not that many choices of 3+ bdr. I lived in the area for a few years and they are so not worth it in terms of construction (but worth it in terms of location)….I guess I’ll look more into UC beside UTC. Clairemont -I think many are just too old – more than 20 years old, no matter how well patched and updated. Size – not a major problem – single level helps a lot of course.
