Well, the $380K smaller twinhome (but bigger private yard) UCGal posted has $303 monthly dues and the $365K unit in SR has $243 mo dues. $60 difference in dues but the gas and time savings are significant on the UC property. She also stated it’s in the Curie attendance area (API 950). I don’t know if the elem schools in SR can beat that.[/quote]
Yes they can. Dingeman is one of those. And in Scripps is pretty easy to transfer between different elementary schools; all of them are very good. Jerabek is 935, Miramar Ranch (where the townhouses we talked about would go) is just over 900. Where SR schools surpass the UC ones are the middle (924 vs 860) and high school. UC high API is under 800, while SR high is 875, a significant difference IMO. Now, if that’s worth the extra commute, it’s up to each individual case. If equal house payments (+fees) in UC and SR and equal houses (size/age/rooms) – I may stay in UC for convenience. If I get more in terms of house, or lower payments in SR, I may be more inclined to choose SR… It all depends from case to case, what one likes and is comfortable to compromise…

ParticipantWhat exactly is your point? The amount of gas used? time? it can be 35-45′. It may be faster (though longer) to take 52 rather than Miramar at rush hour but I don’t know for sure. Yes, that is one of the townhouses I was refering to.
I am not pushing SR for the OP. I personally like it in spite of the commute. I think he’ll do better with a SFR in UC, or if that’s not doable for him, one in PQ.ParticipantWhat exactly is your point? The amount of gas used? time? it can be 35-45′.

What about MR’s? I’m assuming under $100? I don’t think the SFR’s in Scripps Ranch would have MR’s in the OP’s price range but what about HOA dues?
Also, consider this. I think the gas difference is 3 tanks per month living in UC and 8+ tanks per month living in PQ or SR per vehicle. This is barring any leisure travel outside of the county.
I think your $200 extra for gas is too low if the OP will commute with two vehicles.[/quote]
There are no MRs at all for all the PQ that OP would be interested in budgetwise (MRs are only in Torrey Highlands which is a small part of PQ). HOAs, if they exist (and they often enough DON’T), are below $50 – for SFRs.SD R can comment on HOAs and MRs on SR better than me.
What I’ve seen – and I haven’t looked extensively in SR – MRs in PQ are ~$100/mo for 500K-600K SFR usually. Some SFRs in PQ have also HOAs, some even in low 100$. 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.$200 was just a guess. We don’t know how much the significant other commutes right now and where. $300 is more than likely at the current prices.
