Old Encinitas, A Beautiful Place... - 11/4/2019
I've lived in many different neighborhoods throughout San Diego over the years. They've all been coastal, from Pt. Loma, Pacific Beach, Del Mar, Solana Beach and Encinitas.
All have their pro's and con's, but my favorite have been Solana Beach and Old Encinitas. Great communities and Solana Beach has a better School District, but Encinitas is less expensive and has a "downtown" where you can have dinner and catch live entertainment afterwards.
The Crime Rate is also very low and way more "culture" compared to someplace like Crackpike "Bakersfield."

Where to go? Hate to move, but housing is just to - 4/28/2007
Thinking of moving to the SouthEast. Not interested in any real snow!
Florida is too hot and humid and buggy and hurricane-prone (and old...).
So many other areas seem to be sort of "bubba" and/or "Culture-Free" zones. No theater or museums or restaurants. Or airports!
We are so spoiled by SD weather - that is almost our top concern.
Anybody have any ideas where to

Encinitas, long a southern california haven for surfers, yoga practitioners, and musicians, still is. With its beautiful weather and increasing welter of diverse residents, excellent restaurants, nearby shopping, and ready access to I-5, the major north-south California highway, it's an increasingly attractive place to work, live, or

Life In Encinitas - 7/21/2006
Encinitas is right on the coast in northern San Diego County, and really is a beautiful place to live. In recent years, however the cost of homes has skyrocketed out of reach for many people. I'm trying to downsize, and I don't think I will be able to stay in this

Expensive but nice - 6/21/2006
The median price of a single family home has to be about $800K now. The good news is that the schools are great and being next to the Pacific is dynamite. The beaches are wonderful, with some scenic cliffs, great parks, and enough local shopping. Very little crime.
The down side besides hosuing costs is that most jobs are at least 15 miles south on Highway 5. A tough commute. It is getting more and more crowded. People want to live in nice
