Affordable places to live near Carlsbad California (Encinitas, Solana Beach: rent, low crime)

[oliver6323]

Are there any? We are looking to move from Western NY to the Carlsbad area and want to know which suburbs have 'it all' - good schools, low crime and a decent housing market. We are looking in the 600000 range and need 4 bedrooms with at least 2800 sq ft.......can this be done in the Carlsbad area? Also, any towns with a 'small town feel' to them?

Check out Encinitas for a slightly bigger downtown and probably better schools than Carlsbad. But, check those facts through the school performance maps website.

You can rent a house that pencils out to that approximate mortgage payment in Solana Beach, which does have a small-town feel.
