ParticipantMisheloff, the schools are “dreadful” you say? (Not according to API scores)
Substandard education? (Again, not according to API scores)
Tattooed, toothless people? (Sure, there are some, but we are OK with that, since most are nice, polite people. I was at Costco today, and considered your comments. Of about 120 people waiting in lines to checkout, about 3 people had tank tops, but no tattoos. Oh well, a sample of 1 does not make a trend.)
Oh, by the way, those tattooed, toothles people are below average when it comes to crime. Here is the trulia link to prove it:
http://www.trulia.com/real_estate/Santee-California/community-info/20 minute drive to get a steak? (Well, if you must go to Ruth Chris, Mortons, or Donovan’s, then yes, but for us, Outback, Black Angus, and the Original Roadhouse Grill will do just fine.)
110 degree temperatures through Santee? (According to the Weather Channel, the average high in Santee in the hottest months of the year, July and August, is 88 degrees F.)
http://www.weather.com/weather/wxclimatology/daily/92072?climoMonth=7Putting lipstick on a pig? (We do eat pigs out here. We like ham, bacon, etc, but we leave off the lipstick.)
Living among mutants? (Oh no… You found out that the X-Men have a hideout here. Please don’t tell Magneto. Plus, they help keep the crime rate low here! Geee, now you know our secret…)
Cesspool of genetic sludge? (Wow, I guess you have a PhD in Genetics and have analized the gene pool here. Most of the city is white, so I guess most whites are genetic sludge, according to your analysis.)
Here are the stats, in case you don’t believe me:
http://www.ci.santee.ca.us/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=3
Approximately 78.7%, based on 2005/2006 stats.I used to be in Rancho Bernardo myself, but decided not to throw my money away in Mello Roos and live in homes with small lots, people looking into my yard and windows from every angle, waiting until all the boom buyers foreclose in 4closure Ranch and Del Sur, etc. You might be surprised, but there is actually a lot of crime in Rancho Bernardo, just like any other town.

BTW, the cops have made this place a regular stakeout to scare the hoodlums away.
Or, how about going to the Walmart in Poway at 13425 Community Road and tell me how this is better than the Walmart in Santee…

ParticipantHobie, I don’t plan on posting any information on how much I paid for the house, the electric/water bill or anything that someone could look up and figure out who the owners are, how the house was paid for, etc.
If you’re looking to verify whether I own or not, you will have to take my word that I do own in Sky Ranch.
Sorry for many of you nay sayers out there, but I like Sky Ranch and I like Santee and I’m happy with my purchase.
I’m only posting on this site to inform those who are considering Santee and Sky Ranch, and why I bought. I’ve posted links to all the things that I’ve found out about the area to help people make an informed decision. Everyone can decide what is best for themselves.
Yet, you can’t say no one wants to live in Santee, because these homes are selling in Sky Ranch, people are moving here, and, against what you might think, they are happy here!
The schools aren’t as nice as Del Mar Unified or Poway Unified, but they are good public schools. I would have to say that the private schools are better, and I feel that, if you can afford it, it’s better to have the kids in private school when they are young. This is the best time to develop their value system and beliefs in what is right and wrong. By highschool, most of this is established in their core thinking. I would say, start the kids in private school early, then send them to public schools later, like in highschool, to see what the world is really like and to save money, if that is your concern. Private elementary school is much less than private high school.

Participantnatty, I’m not confused. I bought in an area that already had major depreciation like Chula Vista and San Marcos. They were the first to take major drops unlike Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Rancho Bernardo, and other areas that have MAJOR high-end shadow inventory that will soon push average home prices even lower for those areas, in my opinion. People in these areas have hung on longer and are sitting in their homes, milking the system for every drop of free rent.
Sky Ranch was built after the RE crash started, and Lennar corrected the home prices to match current market values. Of course, prices are still dropping, yet I don’t feel they will drop as much as other areas have yet to drop that were built on the RE boom time, especially areas like 4S Ranch.
Let me clarify, that when I speak of investment, I’m not confused. I’m talking long-term investment, not just someone looking to “flip” or as we call now “flop” in the short-term. Everyone wants a quick buck. We bought in an area and community that we thought mitigated against many current RE risks out there, especially in the higher end areas, that, as I mentioned, in my opinion, still have a ways to go in correction to come back to reality. Again, we are thinking long-term, versus short term, as, natty, you may be thinking.
If you had bought property in East Village or other areas, before the boom, wouldn’t you have made money? Areas that undergo GENTRIFICATION can appreciate in value and increase the demand for that area. All it takes is the right plan, execution, and a little time and patience, which, unfortunately, most people don’t have these days.
All I have to tell you, which is a fact, is that homes are still selling in Sky Ranch! Sure, prices will fluctuate, but that fluctuation will be reduced, in my opinion. Once Sky Ranch is built out, and there are no more homes left, except resale, prices will go up. It will be a simple supply and demand, economical process. Sky Ranch is the BEST, NEW community in East County per location, views, home size, lot size, commute time, and many other factors.
PS – I don’t plan on moving anytime soon, because I really like it here, yet I would rather have positive equity than negative equity in my home any time of the day. So, I see less risk of this versus all the other new home buyers who bought during the boom period and are already majorly underwater, 3-5 years out…

Everyone wants a quick buck. We bought in an area and community that we thought mitigated against many current RE risks out there, especially in the higher end areas, that, as I mentioned, in my opinion, still have a ways to go in correction to come back to reality. Again, we are thinking long-term, versus short term, as, natty, you may be thinking.
If you had bought property in East Village or other areas, before the boom, wouldn’t you have made money? Areas that undergo GENTRIFICATION can appreciate in value and increase the demand for that area. All it takes is the right plan, execution, and a little time and patience, which, unfortunately, most people don’t have these days.
All I have to tell you, which is a fact, is that homes are still selling in Sky Ranch! Sure, prices will fluctuate, but that fluctuation will be reduced, in my opinion. Once Sky Ranch is built out, and there are no more homes left, except resale, prices will go up. It will be a simple supply and demand, economical process. Sky Ranch is the BEST, NEW community in East County per location, views, home size, lot size, commute time, and many other factors.
PS – I don’t plan on moving anytime soon, because I really like it here, yet I would rather have positive equity than negative equity in my home any time of the day. So, I see less risk of this versus all the other new home buyers who bought during the boom period and are already majorly underwater, 3-5 years out…
ParticipantOld article I found on Santee, which was in the San Diego Magazine back in October 1997. I found it an interesting read.
