Bought a house in San Carlos right near my kids school. Moved in over the weekend... wasn't cheap and needs work but it's like night and day compared to the old house. A lot more space, quiet, low traffic and plenty of kids in the area.

It wasn't perfect but we came to realize nothing is even close.

I know you have been looking in that area for a while now.
We have been looking that area off and on for about 6 plus years, but have yet to find anything. Although everything we did look for was on the La Mesa Side Cowles Mt Blvd. Me And my Wife both agreed that, we didn't want to live in San Diego city limits ever again.

Thanks all... we are still deciding what to do with the old place... my wife wants to keep it, I want to sell, but could go either way. It's being painted and some repairs done right now so I am running out of time to make a decision, lol.

New house was built in 1969 with a major remodel that occurred in the early 2000's. The biggest things we saw were unrenovated homes, or houses that had been used as rentals and were just thrashed. The major problem with our home is it has an original roof and some decking that is rotten and needs to be ripped and replaced (about 20k job), as well as a few odds and ends (some windows and some appliances need to be replaced). Overall it's in good shape, certainly compared to what we saw in our price range.

Hitman my preference was to move out of City of SD at all costs but given are kids attend an SDUSD school we wanted to be close so that ultimately won out.
