If you have another bathroom with a full tub, I would go with double sinks (very very useful in the morning for a couple and most newer houses have it) and shower stall. If you don’t have another full size tub, I would go with a tub & dual sinks, no separate shower stall.
But that’s just me…
I personally think that newer fashion of separate shower stall and tub is a huge waste of real estate and when the house is not huge, I’d rather have that extra space in the MBdr or the walkin closet. One can shower in the tub, or take a bath. No need for both. But for all I know there are plenty of people that enjoy having a separate luxurios bath tub and think it’s worth it; I don’t.

Exactly. And that means everything in terms of the feel of the neighborhood.[/quote]

True, I agree with the general feel that PQ is better and more beautiful. But one buys in a neigborhood, not in a zip code. My impression is that the Calle Cristobal one is quite nice, with lots of professionals, houses as new or newer than most PQ, and a little cheaper, some have nice views. And the schools are very good. I am looking at what 500K could buy you in PQ vs MM, as that seem to be about the limit of the OP.

[quote=lindismith]I’m sure SDR will agree. PQ is a much better option over MM.

I’m seeing the same thing in my areas of interest: Mission Hills, OB, Pt Loma etc. I think this year I might finally find something![/quote]

I am curious – why do you think PQ is a MUCH better option over MM?

At your budget you will find a little nicer/newer/larger homes in Mira Mesa than in PQ, from what I can see (I am also looking in both MM and PQ). Mira Mesa schools have become very good, many of them better actually than University City ones. The API scores are now close enough to the PQ ones.

North-West Mira Mesa around Calle Cristobal is especially nice area. It all depends what you want. Where do you have to commute to work? Do you have school-age kids?
