Affordable? In San Diego ? Ha !

San Marcos or Escondido

Did you attend Palomar College at one point?

2000 you can only rent a 1 bedroom apartment

The Redfin Market Data call out was very useful. Thanks!

I lived there in the mid 70's on Paula way. Went to OG. I remember when san Pasquale high, and the wild animal park was built. Cruise on Friday night on valley parkway. Hanging out in front of the big bear market. Bused tables at aunt Emma's, I did enjoy the fish frys, place was packed. The reservoir wasn't anything but brush up to the water, we used to swim at the far end and when we saw or heard the buzz of the dam guards troll motor, we'd dry off, head up to the eagles nest, cool off in the shade within the cave. Most of the parkway heading to valley center was mostly avocados and oranges. I remember when they started growing kiwi's in valley center. It was a better place than I deserved to be a teenager in. I hope others have their memories. I'm 63 now, and I still miss the age when slurppies were new. 😊

Not as cold or hot as noted here. Yes it's cool in the winter, but I would not say very cold. In the summer it is 10-15 degrees cooler than Temecula and I've yet to see 100 degrees at my location in the 3 summers I've spent in Fallbrook. I do however live in a location where I get the ocean breezes, for this reason, one side of my house is hotter than the other side, but certainly not close to the Temecula and Murietta temperatures.

This lady has no clue about what she’s speaking on. This is definitely an older city has a lot of older homes. My grandfather bought his property here in 71. The community is strong. A lot of the original resident of Vista and know each other and are willing to help out there is a lot of new development Homes here kind of gives you that country ranch by which is why a lot of the community do not have sidewalk park. Churches are trying to get out and explore. I wouldn’t really take this ladies advice with a grant homes here do fill over price but just because of how much you are getting, tropical climate and Vista. We don’t do Escondido further we don’t got all the problems with Oceanside nothing more less than what you get anywhere else. If you get to live, I would definitely look into it.

Good stuff- resources please

Dont come to v town we dont want you here

Couldn't get zoned in San Marcos, huh, Mr. Real Estate? Dude, this is pathetic. If you really wanna trash a city in North County that has done nothing to you, try Escondido.

So even with no monthly debt, this is not doable currently?

Love my fallbrook

its a hobby not a means of livlihood.

house morgage $800,000 is normal 4 br. often much more.

Don't forget the part about needing lots of money. Lol.

How can i get to $250k a year?

get this shit out of here, no one wants this here.

Did not even touch on fire risk!! Major consideration factor

The biggest con is that there aren't many youthful attractions. No YMCA or a community swimming pool for hot summer days. Plus, there's a new neighborhood across the I-15, but there isn't a bus stop for that side of Fallbrook nor a small mini-mart.

Weather is good in So Cal really?

This is a horrible thing to happen. The tourists are treating us locals horribly. Like they are better then us. I have seen this property sitting empty for a long time. Put something else there.

Lettts goo!

Is there Investment opportunity from this development?

Im looking to move to San Diego CA

Super lame

I am interested in Ocean Kamp. How do I get more information on how to get on a waiting list for the homes?

This is gold!

What happened to this site? No activity for many months??

What about Rancho Bernardo, one of the biggest employment hubs of San Diego? Great schools and master planned community?

This guy doesn’t know Escondido go play on the freeway Alex

I just realized how hard it is to pronounce "rural". LOL

One year later and I haven’t seen and construction. Is this still happening?

There is a substantial antisemitic vibe at Lake San Marcos

Doing the same exact calculation up to 350K homes, Nonexistent 😅

People still live in California? Lol!

Really dislike the approach of "buy and capitalize on limited housing and short term housing" but it's interesting how ocean side is one of the last few affordable areas on the coast. One at a time, these places will succumb to the housing hype train.

I live in one of the higher priced gated HOA neighborhoods and it’s not ideal- sure, it looks lush and beautiful because most homes plus common areas are irrigated by well water which, for now is “free”(it’s not free because when your well pump goes out and they only last 6-7 years, it’s 10K to pull the old pump and replace it- we just had to do this). The people who run our HOA are vicious if you try to go against them- I could get my PhD on the psychological behaviors I have seen in the numerous neighbor vs neighbor battles in this community- it rivals the game of thrones. Dues are $550/month and there’s a high likelihood they’re going up- that’s comparable with the most elite Rancho Santa Fe gated neighborhoods but you’re in the middle of low scoring schools, heavy blue collar community, crime and drug problems, military bombs going off day and night, and a over 1 hour commute to the San Diego airport. Several of the residents are on a campaign to try to convert our tennis courts to pickleball and this has already split the neighborhood into two camps. Some people are not on speaking terms. Many have already consulted attorneys so many of us feel it’s inevitable that certain people will ignore all the other communities across the US that end up in costly legal battles over noisy/disruptive pickleball and try to force pickle ball on us. This is a private community- the goal is not to turn it into a noisy senior center. I just don’t see any solution to all of this unless they disband the HOA or declaw the board’s power. The same group of power hungry folks keep circling on and off the board. Net result is nothing really changes- dues just keep going up….😢super snobby people here in general- buyer beware

Grew up in LA. Moved to San Marcos last 5 years, love it.

I was told that it's hard to get homeowners insurance in Fallbrook due to fire dangers. Do the new homes require sprinkler systems inside?

Only two high schools that look like corporate buildings. Each with 4,000 students!

Native Escondidian here. I currently live in South Escondido. If you’re like me and don’t mind a little bit of driving to get a taste of a little bit of everything, this is your place. If you want night life downtown is about 30min. Away. If you want a taste of Mexico the U.S/Mexican Border is about 45-50 min. Away. If you want desert, Anza Borrego is about 60min away. If you want to see snow Palomar Mtn. Is about 45-50 min away. If you want Beach, Del Mar is about 25 min away. And if you want to go to “The Happiest Place on Earth” Disneyland is about 60-70 min away.

I miss fallbrook won’t lie met my wife there can’t wait to move back to Cali in a year or two

So you’re an airline pilot and you own your own brokerage??

Welcome to Vista, now go away.

But how do you set up the query because it says it won’t do searches

There is no guarantee that home prices will always go up. In the United States, consider Detroit. Also consider that home prices going up is predicated on the population expanding. A significant portion of the world -- effectively the entire industrialized world -- the fertility rate is below replacement levels. Without immigration, eventually we will have a population collapse. For a precursor, look at Japan. Entire villages are turning into ghost towns. That said, "be sure you can afford the payment" is the absolutely correct advice.

Young professionals simply can’t afford to live in SD unless they have multiple roommates. No path to home ownership

Interested in new construction home
