Participant[quote=bearishgurl]Scarlett, Rhett, you both live and work in the same general area as the OP here, except, as potential buyers, may be in a little higher price range. Correct me if I’m wrong, but your kids are very young also, no?
How’s the house hunt been going lately? Found anything you could make an offer on?
Could you possibly be waiting in hopes you can eventually score a deal in UC? ;=}[/quote]
Yes – my daughter will enter Kindergarten this fall. We found some houses we liked – in Sabre Springs and CMR, beside PQ. No, we are not waiting to score in UC.Participant[quote=bearishgurl]Scarlett, Rhett, you both live and work in the same general area as the OP here, except, as potential buyers, may be in a little higher price range.

I misstyped PQ instead of SR in an earlier message
[quote=Scarlett]What I’ve seen – and I haven’t looked extensively in SR – MRs in SR are ~$100/mo for 500K-600K SFR usually. Some SFRs in SR have also HOAs, some even in low 100$. I didn’t get the impression that is the norm though – to be that high. I’ve seen smaller than $50. To be clear though, vast majority if not all the SFRs in SR are not in the OP’s budget of 400K. The townhouses in SR that are close to I-15 are relatively old so no MRs there, but they can have significant HOAs, though no bigger than UC ones.

[/quote]Participant[quote=bearishgurl]Perhaps you are not reading the OP’s current commute and desires here. He/she currently has zero commute and resides within an excellent school attendance area. Those were his/her main criteria. What’s not to understand?
[/quote]
My understanding is the OP IS willing to commute for a good deal on a larger house/good schools, that why s/he IS looking into SR and PQ. He didn’t say zero- to little commute is his MAIN criteria.I actually think that schools are the main criteria within his/her choices of areas.
And I would NOT call UC schools EXCELLENT, just good – Curie may be called excellent, but not Middle and HIgh.
If the OP cannot find something s/he likes in UC, or if s/he thinks the schools API differences are worth the commute, probably PQ is better bang for the buck than SR with schools almost as good as SR, IMO.
