I take exception, however to the “no soul” observations. My kid is in school in Torrey Hills and partly as a result of that we know lots of people in the neighborhood. Also, my wife is Chinese and thinks she is in heaven due to the high number of friendly neighbors who speak her language. It’s a rare day when we go out without seeing people we know and like. (I’m not aware of any aversion to us on the grounds of our being mere tenants.)
Well, obviously “soul” is pretty hard to define. As I said before, there is a sense of community and it’s easy to get to know lots of people. And also, I agree with all the comments you make (right down to the Chinese wife).
I guess I’d define “soul” more as a character and a feeling all its own. Leucadia, OB, PB. Places like that are unique. CV is a very nice place with lots of nice people, but it certainly doesn’t (in my opinion) approach those places for character. CV really is pretty bland and pretty similar to a lot of other places (Scripps Ranch, 4S, etc.)

zkParticipantscrenter,
I wouldn’t put too much stock in what alex angel says. Perhaps the fearful frenzy of scurrying off is related to the manner of his approach.
We moved from Scripps Ranch to CV about 5 years ago. My wife and I have found the people very friendly.
There are a lot of women who stay home, and there are a lot of BMWs, Mercedes and Range Rovers. And also Lexuses and Porsches, and even a few Aston Martins and Maseratis and Ferraris, too. Not sure why that’s a bad thing.
I’d say the main things that make this area cost more than 4S are, in order of importance:
1)Proximity to the coast.
2)Better schools.
3)A bit closer to downtown.The weather is almost always in the 70’s in the summer. And the parents are very involved in the schools, which is probably the main reason that they have the highest test scores in San Diego.
Whether that makes CV worth the extra money is, as the last poster said, something only you can decide.
Alex is right about one thing, though. CV doesn’t have much of a “soul.” It’s stricly tract homes with no downtown or other special places. If you live here long enough, though, you start to know lots of people, and there does start to be a sense of community. It’s a very family-oriented place.
