But otherwise it's speculation and opinion on your part. SD has some of the top ranked HS in the country. [They are actually ranked much higher nationally than most Irvine high schools, for example. ie, Torrey Pines/Canyon Crest. But who cares: They're all solid schools and rate 9 or 10/10 on great schools dot org] No point in making a dig that isn't necessary. Both are great places in their own right/way and have good options for families.

OP: I just want to mention that solid schools and slightly more for your money can be had in Chino Hills, with an okay (not great but there are worse) commute. It's not OC, of course, but I just wanted to throw an additional option into the mix, since the best districts is OC are fairly exclusive in terms of rental pricing and options. Chino Hills is an affluent suburb and is technically in the 'southwestern corner of San Bernadino County'.

Also, I agree that Laguna Niguel and Dana Point are also great choices. San Clemente is also nice. Great areas!

No it is not speculation as it can be objectively proven that Orange County schools are better than San Diego Schools, on average.

I don't know too much about school districts in Orange County, but IMO, just about anywhere south and east the 55 would classify as a decent place to raise a family.
