I grew up in San Diego, bought my first home in Mira Mesa for 26K, second home in Tierrasanta for 249K and third home in Tierrasanta for 265K. The location is very desirable because of the weather, but the city government has gone in the tank. Homelessness is rampant, services and taxes have increased significantly.
I agree wholeheartedly. I was born here in 1950. Thanks to my wife's insistence we bought a cracker house in northwest Clairemont in 1987. Todd's wrecking this city. I'm really burnt out with this guy and Sacramento's supermajority. Toni Atkins D originated this ADU madness and the mayor's the only one to embrace this lunacy.
I live in Carmel Valley and don’t have an HOA. So yes, every community/hoa has an HOA (duh), but there are also homes that don’t. ? A large factor in picking the home we did was the lack of HOA and Mello Roos.
Carlsbad is probably your best value with a $1.6 million median price, but the biggest potential for upside over the next 5-10 years. If you really want an opportunity Oceanside is going to transform over the next 10 years and I would expect some serious value add on residential property values as well.
The City of Oceanside needs to do a better job managing the infrastructure (like roads) & law enforcement (which can’t respond to the majority of calls because they are ALL tied up dealing with shootings, gangs, etc in isolated pockets of Oceanside). I live in Carlsbad a few miles from Oceanside and I do not feel safe running errands at night like grocery shopping. There just isn’t a police presence like in Carlsbad where I always feel safe.
There’s something off about this list when Leucadia is ranked higher than La Jolla. La Jolla has homes for sale up in the $40mil range. Should be top 3 for sure
Keyword "for sale" - most of the high net worth homes in La Jolla haven't even sold. This was real data and I too was really surprised La Jolla wasn't in the top 2.
I crack up with the name La Jolla Village. Mini mansions have destroyed that quaint place I went to countless times. My aunt and uncle bought a ranch style home near the Shores in 1955. $39K for the house and they cashed out the lot.
You should do a video on all the high density housing that’s being built right now and the development around San Diego. That’s being built right now without any parking and they rely on people use a bicycle to go to grocery shopping or to the doctors office for daily events.
Great video. I live in Carmel Valley and have lived in San Diego for 16 years. It's a wonderful place to be and raise a family. The price of homes here is skyrocketing and even though I own, it's still concerning because home insurance is skyrocketing. The days of a convential 20% down with a manageable mortgage are long gone. It's mainly VC and foreign investment now.
I would say that the biggest negatives about towns near the 5 freeway is the traffic. The Del Mar fair reeks havoc on interstate 5 travel. Accidents that severely slow traffic are not uncommon. Morning and afternoon bring slow & go traffic, making work commutes always stressful. Of course, the 15 and 56 also are regularly congested. After living here for almost 40 years, I've found that areas 6-10 miles from the coast are optimum for the right balance of sun and clouds (marine layer). Living further west or east can limit your sun/decrease temps in the Summer or increase average temperatures with dryer weather during the same season. During Winter, the reverse is true with the coastal areas being more temperate, and the eastern areas like Poway, Ramona, Lakeside becoming very cold during evenings (ice on windshields is common to vehicles parked outside).
Just south of Carmel Valley is Torrey Hills, which has better walkability and is also in the Del Mar Union School District. The middle schools, CVMS and Earl Warren, are both excellent. The high schools, Torrey Pines, CCA, Cathedral Catholic, and farther down the street, Westview, are all excellent. CCA pretty much puts all its students into first rate universities. As of August 2024, a home in Carmel Valley or Torrey Hills is about $1000/sq ft. Expensive because it's worth it.
I recall scraping ice off my windshield while living in Poway during Winter months. During Summer, temps can be 10 degrees higher than PQ or Vista, for example.
Other than Coronado all these areas are in north county. South San Diego is like a different planet compared to north county. Encinitas born and raised and still in North County
I live in East County 20 minutes to downtown San Diego by drive, or to SDSU. Not bad but there is the homeless coming and going at the little park. And paid less than $350,000 which would be the max for us. But paid a bit less because the family was a military family and so were we. Nice and thanks
Nick. What are my options for living in the East Village or Golden Hills or South Park? 2-3 BR, 2 Ba. Spent a lot of time in Westchester and Santa Monica, but their costs are beyond my capacity,,,,,..HELP!!
as someone who grew up in san diego for 30 years its honestly funny anyone thinks these 3m$ houses actually sell. they are that high because noone is moving to sd or cali in general and the boomers are in denial
I don't think Coronado is called Coronado Island. North Island was a real island but the water separaing Coronado and North Island were filled in the early 1900's.
I think North Island actually refers to the name of the Naval base that takes up almost (more than?) 50% of Coronado. BTW, Coronado is really a peninsula since it is NOT surrounded by water on all sides. It has a long man-made bridge that connects the southern part of Coronado to Imperial Beach. Check it.
@@sokaiya1Are you going to Chiang Mai area? I read a lot of expats there. I loved being there, but only been once. Eager to go back and see Ko Samui. 🐠🐟🪸
Only move to San Diego and buy a house there if you enjoy your job so much that you're willing slave at your job for at minimum 30 years to pay off the mortgage.
San Diego is a horrible place. It never rains so everything is dry. When it does rain there are floods. If there are no floods, there are fires. Sun? Maybe in the desert. The coast is cloudy 24/7. The ocean is cold. You should go to Florida where it is always sunny and the water is warm. Traffic is horrible. We are full. Don't come to San Diego! Don't come to San Diego! Don't come to San Diego! Don't come to San Diego! Go to Florida! Go anywhere else!
I bought a 3 bedroom condo in La Jolla for 60k in 1977. Cheap section south of UCSD. Lived there for 25 years. Now I rent it out. Loved the location near UCSD as I went to their library a lot. Also good collection of stores nearby.

Couldn't agree with you more Dan!
Don't kid yourself. Oceanside has gangs, crime and homeless. I drive through it every day. Check the crime stats.
@@judyfabion8849You drive through a city and now you’re an expert on it? 😂🤪😂🤪

Del Sur / Santa Luz ? Isn’t that all part of Black Mountain Ranch? Crosby didn’t make list or is that part of RSF?
Love the list but was surprised that Point Loma wasn’t on that list
Shhh! 🙂
If my wife and I hit it big Pt. Loma is #1 on our list. View of the ocean and a big garage.

Great data. Encinitas (Leucadia) is a gem. Actually, they all are.
Thanks William! I agree, I was pretty surprised to see Leucadia come in at #1
Should have seen it 40 yrs ago. It was like country. It's full of designer coffee and beer bars now.
Thanks for sharing San Diego’s beautiful homes with me!
You got it Chris!
Hello Nick. Nice to meet you. Thank you for the great video.
Hey keith 👋
Just south of Carmel Valley is Torrey Hills, which has better walkability and is also in the Del Mar Union School District.
The middle schools, CVMS and Earl Warren, are both excellent.
The high schools, Torrey Pines, CCA, Cathedral Catholic, and farther down the street, Westview, are all excellent. CCA pretty much puts all its students into first rate universities.
As of August 2024, a home in Carmel Valley or Torrey Hills is about $1000/sq ft. Expensive because it's worth it.
I’m shocked Poway isn’t on the list!

Other than Coronado all these areas are in north county. South San Diego is like a different planet compared to north county. Encinitas born and raised and still in North County
Yup, couldn't agree more!

Can’t wait to pay $200,000 in property taxes for my 10 million dollar home.
"Beautiful modern homes" - translation: ugly boxy eye sores that look like a public library or cvs. They're ruining the vibe of la jolla.
Bought my home in La Jolla back in 99. Not going anywhere else.
Me neither. Bought my tri-level condo down the street frim UCSD in 1995 for $112,500. Now valued at $740k😊
Thanks for info, SDSU grad here. I have no desire to live their, people crunch.
Nick. What are my options for living in the East Village or Golden Hills or South Park? 2-3 BR, 2 Ba. Spent a lot of time in Westchester and Santa Monica, but their costs are beyond my capacity,,,,,..HELP!!
Hey Bradley, shoot us an email and we’ll break it down Nick.miele@compass.com
Great. As long as you don't mind the homeless, you're good.
Feed them and they will come.
No bums in 'Nado
Where do regular people live?
😂
Lower income people, like myself, live mostly live in inland areas a few miles away from the coast or on the north side of San Diego.
I have heard the Del Mar High School is excellent.
What about Fairbanks Ranch?
How did Carlsbad not make the list?!
Agreed!
as someone who grew up in san diego for 30 years its honestly funny anyone thinks these 3m$ houses actually sell. they are that high because noone is moving to sd or cali in general and the boomers are in denial
I would never buy a home in San Diego I don’t even like to visit any part of it it’s scary!! It’s like LA!
Woah....don't insult us like that and compare us to LA
I don't think Coronado is called Coronado Island. North Island was a real island but the water separaing Coronado and North Island were filled in the early 1900's.

People don't move to SD it's overcast all the time and so much colder than OC LA
Ya don’t move here it sucks! LA is sooo much better definitely move there!
Nice try -- 🤣 I grew up in Seattle and we would tell everyone that it rains every single day. It's actually the same as NYC...even Atlanta...
My daughter has bough a house in SD just 2 yrs ago. Sh loves it.
I can confirm this to be true. Move more north and you won't regret it.
....only if you live along the coast where the marine layer takes longer to burn off.
I grew up in a small house in Carlsbad. Saw it built in 1986. Not the greatest house. Lol. Lists on Zillow for 2 million. Bizarre.
Old Carlsbad all day brah!
🤙🏼
Old Carlsbad even 10 yrs ago was nice. it's packed with foo foo designer caffeine shops and over priced beer.
Chula Vista baby
Taxes are too high.
Carmel valley housing took away a lot of produce!
Many homes there are just too close to the 56, meaning the constant drone of traffic noise is more obvious during cooler morning hours.
Is there a way we can send all the homeless to Mexico?
They actually come from Mexico here too 😅
Moving out of California in the Fall. It will continue to go down the tubes.
Have fun in Tennessee or Phoenix! 😂😂😂
@@JCizzleSoCal Thailand 🇹🇭
Hopefully the traffic will get better, eventually.

most boring place in the universe
I moved to San Diego in 1981 and you could buy a 3 bedroom condo for $100k and a la Jolla home facing the ocean for $400.😂
Oh man, times have certainly changed 😆
Back in 1971, my uncle bought a brand new house in Mira Mesa for 24k. Now the same house is worth 950k.
In 1987, you could buy a 3 bedroom house in Mira Mesa for $110,000.
I bought a 3 bedroom condo in La Jolla for 60k in 1977. Cheap section south of UCSD. Lived there for 25 years. Now I rent it out. Loved the location near UCSD as I went to their library a lot. Also good collection of stores nearby.
