So what is your point? Do you live in Rancho Santa Fe? If you do, then you would know that RSF is out of the picture.

Budget is ~ 1 mil. Wife would likely get a job at UCSD so just concerned about commutes. Really don't want to anything that goes above 30 min in rush hours.

With a budget of $1M, a job @ UCSD, and a job in Sorrento Valley, why not live in Sorrento Valley:

When the OP created this thread, he just asked what areas have trees. And I responded with an area, RSF, that had not yet been mentioned. You, for some reason, responded to my post that RSF was too expensive.

OP did not mention any pricing parameters or budget until this morning. So you jumped the gun.

Just doing a quick search and the first house that popped up in your range is what I think of when I think of university city, plenty of trees.

University City. We stayed there in fact. Definitely not a bastion of flora there, though I'm sure specific houses or possible parts are better. Tried to drive around a bunch. Unimpressed.

Most people move to San Diego for the sun, not the shade.

There's a place out on the Point Loma Peninsula called the Wooded Area. Lots of old trees by San Diego standards. Zip Code: 92106. Dupont St and Catalina Blvd is probably Ground Zero of the Wooded Area.

Here's a street view:

However, you'll need closer to $2M to buy in the Wooded Area.

Don't move if you are inflexible and want it absolutely like the north.
Or accept embrace SD for what it is and enjoy fully, including it blend of trees, gardens, landscaping, etc.
Add some additional criteria, preferences (and things you want to avoid) beside less than 30 min commute, and I'll suggest some neighborhood options, if not already recommended.

Mission Hills? I had a friend who lived on Jackdaw St., but probably >$1million now.

Olivenhain. It’ll be out of your budget unless you find a fixer, they do come up, and it’ll be a longer commute.

Mt Helix. It’ll be within your budget but a longer commute.

These are two that have no shortage of trees all around, that haven’t been mentioned yet, aren’t completely in the boonies, and can be within your budget. There’s others in La Jolla, Coronado, and Del Mar, but not even a tear down is in your price range.

In all honesty you need to start looking a bit harder. There’s so many old neighborhoods throughout the city and county that have plenty of old growth trees, It just varies often from street to strees. Good luck to you.

No, we don't have trees in San Diego. Don't move here. Stay wherever you are.
