Greetings from a fellow European. We recently relocated to Sabre Springs and we love this area; it is very family friendly. There are single family houses for rent in your price bracket here so I would look here first. Your commute would be minimal, you'd be saving time and money living close to work. The middle school my 8th grader goes to is Meadowbrook Middle, in the Poway Unified School District, which I believe is just as good as Carlsbad if not better. As long as you bring your previous schools Gate designation, there should be no problem for your child to qualify. There is one particular middle school in the district with a special program catering to high achieving and gate children, Black Mountain Academy. You could find out, but I believe you have to apply well in advance, as it is heavily subscribed.

Good luck.

The ocean in San Diego is not as cold as the Bay Area, but it is still cool. Poway is immediately adjacent to Sabre Springs. It has hills, parks and Lake Poway. I think the scenery is lovely. The weather in Poway/Sabre Springs is warmer than the coast. That bothers some people. In the summer the hills turn brown. That bother some people. It did not bother me. We lived in Poway and my kids went to Tierra Bonita Elementary, Twin Peaks Middle School and Poway High. They had the opportunity to have a great education. My daughter was accepted at every university she applied to and selected Berkeley where she received her degree in 2000. My grandson will enter the Poway school system when he is old enough for Kindergarten. I have complete confidence that he will receive every opportunity for an excellent education.

Sabre Springs has hills, trails, parks, good schools, shopping etc. I think the closest lakes would be Miramar in Scripps Ranch and Poway in Poway. There are plenty of activities for pre teens and teenagers. My daughter enjoyed this summer free activities aimed at their age group held at the library and she is also loving the Meadowbrook Middle free after school program. The beach is only 25 minutes away, as is downtown and the museums. The water is cold, after all this is not the Mediterranean, but I believe it is a little warmer than in Northern California.

As far as agents, we used Rick McCandless with ReMax and were happy with the results. He is based in Poway. I am not sure if you are planning to rent or buy, but I am sure that if Rick can't help you he will be able to point you in the right direction.

Good luck.
