Almost every home buyer relocating to San Diego asks at one time or another: “What is the best public school district in San Diego.” Of course, not everyone cares, buy everyone should. Buying a house in a good school district is a great strategy for making a safe a real estate investment. Even if you don’t have children of school age, when you go to sell a home the market of prospective buyers is much larger in good school districts. It is a simple axiom that higher demand supports higher real estate prices.
In San Diego, the San Dieguito Union High School District has earned a reputation for solid performance. Torrey Pines High School in Carmel Valley is one of the top performers in all of California. It is a big school, with more than 2,500 students who come from Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Solana Beach, and Rancho Santa Fe. All of these are affluent neighborhoods with parents who take pride in supporting their children and their local schools. And, as expected, house prices in these neighborhoods are also well above average.
There are some relatively affordable options for homes in Carmel Valley. Here’s an example: The Pines in Carmel Valley is a lovely neighborhood built in the mid-to-late 1980’s. This three-bedroom twin home has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a full bedroom and bathroom downstairs. The orientation of the house creates privacy and an open feel, with outside living space, gardens, and patios on two sides. Priced at $615,000, this is a wonderful entry-level option for anyone looking to buy a house in Carmel Valley, in the heart of the top school district in San Diego.

Do you find this is the #1 thing families look for when buying Real Estate. We have an open district here, so there isn’t as big of deal.

Schools are definitely important to families with children. In San Diego, most of the schools have boundaries and the home’s address means everything. Only a few schools in the county have open enrollment. Otherwise it is important to choose a good public school district.
A community with a nearby school is well rounded community just like living in San Diego. Carmel Valley homes are just good enough to stay in a most accessible and where schools are present and for all those reasons. Keep it up!
School districts are very important when considering where to buy a home. San Diego seems like a nice place to raise a family.
San Diego is definitely a great place to raise a family. Carmel Valley is a great neighborhood with excellent schools. A less expensive alternative is the Poway School District which serves homes in Rancho Penasquitos.
These sound like lovely homes, in a great neighborhood. Living in San Diego has always been a dream for me, and it sounds like this place would be a great investment as we’re thinking about having kids! What other kinds of amenities exist around the area? Thanks!

Thanks Rachel. Carmel Valley real estate is a great investment, and it is a wonderful place to live. In addition to the good schools, there is great shopping and good restaurants. The Del Mar beaches are only a couple of miles to the west. And there is easy freeway access to everything San Diego has to offer. La Jolla is only a few minutes to the south, and Downtown San Diego is only about 20 minutes.
Schools are always important when moving or relocating to a new home. This is always true right? Of course, this is only true for families and not single people.
School district location is primary consideration when moving to a new place. I think your listings are great!!
