I live in La Mesa, it's 20 mins to LJ, centrally located to freeways etc. I'm kicking myself for not shopping Claremont (east la jolla). We've been here 15 year and a nice enough neighborhood. I commute to La Costa every day so it's a lot of driving. Factor your commute and family plans first, your not fishing every day. School districts are of utmost importance in your decision. Also buy to the max of your budget, we don't have a garage but do have a huge backyard, I'd take a two car garage over a huge yard, especially with water bills etc. Also factor in your handy man experience, small projects do add up on time and $$$. Could go on for hours on this subject, but I'd look at Claremont south of 52 and west of 805. Good luck!!!
