I'm moving to Commiefornia

Hollar at me when your ready to talk about the real estate thing. I can give you some advise if you want to sell it on your own to save a buck or you can ask your employer to pay for my services! ; )

No matter. I'll never leave. However, my daughter is interviewing with a company in San Diego (she just finished up at UT/McCombs) and has several questions along these lines.

Pics?

Temecula, really? Carlsbad, La Jolla, San Clemente, or Escondido air be my choices. Real estate would be a bit higher in these areas but well worth it.
sent from htc EVO, the iCrap killer.

A town that's away from the city, where the majority of the population is white, middle class families with children, where you can see some of the natural landscape because every available square inch hasn't been developed, with over 30 wineries to tour, and decently priced real estate? Sounds like torture.

Congratulations on the promotion and good luck with the move. I hope it all goes smoothly.

I will... I'm supposed to meet with out companies relocation people this week. I'm in Little Elm/Frisco do you work up in this area much?

[SSMAN]

I hope that you got a fat raise to come out here, real estate is on the down turn, but still outrageous.

Where are you moving too? I'll buy you a beer or three if I'm still here.

First thing that popped into my mind.............expensive

Thanks Jen! Temecula also has some of the best schools and lowest crime in the region. I really think that's where we'll end up buying. The downside is more of my sites are in LA than SD, so I'll probably be gone M-F more often rather than commuting daily. But in SoCal that is a benefit too. The key for us is the most home for the money, and Temecula seems to be it.

It's nice out there that is for sure.

I'd shoot for the countryside. Your screwed either way. High land cost due to wine country, the ocean or right in the city.

If you ever get north of san fran hit up the spud point crab in bodega bay.

There is also a nice joint on the bay by The airport in san Diego .

How about big bear?

My aunt lives in Oceanside which isn't bad.

My ex-husband wanted to move us out to San Diego to be closer to his family. I grew up on a farm in the country, so I had no desire to move into a concrete jungle. When he took me house shopping in Temecula, I fell in love. After two weeks back in SD, he remembered why he moved to Texas to go to college, so we stayed here.

Concrete jungle? The city itself is just to the left of this picture.

Yeah, when you look at most hillsides, they're covered in houses, it can take over an hour to commute a few miles...it's just not my thing. He was looking to relocate us to Rancho Penasquitos, Poway, or Escondido.
I split most of my childhood between the Piney Woods and the Hill Country, so this is a lot of concrete to me:

The only time that the commute has sucked is coming into LA. When I've left at 5 or 6 am there's no taffic. Having lived in DFW most of my life, this is hardly a concrete jungle. There are way too many people, but unless you're in mid LA, there is little concrete.

Here's the north view from the same spot. This is what the "sunshine tax" pays for.
