I was wondering when they were going to get to it, after rebuilding it around 2000 in Orange County. ^^So there is a plan to rebuild the I-5 in a few years.

I've timed just about every back route there is to and from Sorrento Valley, and so far they all take about the same amount of time. It fluctuates primarily based on which lights you hit and whether you want a scenic or freeway route. 4S to CV traffic? 10-15 mins depending on lights. CV crunch to Sorrento Valley? 5-10 mins depending on what the 56 is doing. No traffic, it's about 15 mins. As for Terramar, I checked those out. Wildly, wildly overpriced IMHO. You can reach out your window and hand your neighbor a bar of soap and that street is goign to be a mess of traffic/noise with the school right there. 5 minutes down the road you can get something so much nicer IMHO for about $100,000+ less. No doubt they'll sell every one though, and I saw a single demographic when I was there. The majority of the commute is getting through the CV traffic.

Enjoy the traffic and your kids school. As to the extra lane on I-56. Wait your turn. There are a lot worse spots in San Diego County. Your only benfit has been the slower economy. But one day it will pick up and their will be a lot more jobs in the I-5/I805 corridor. Which will make that traffic a lot worse. Of course you could live south of the area and send you kids to a private school or the La Jolla school district. Scores are just as good as CV area. Lifes a bitch living in paradise.

Interestingly, the CV premium was much lower then than it is today despite a new corridor that opens up coastal job centers to the high quality PUSD in 92127/92129. Before, you had to take a dirt road to get to PQ/4S Ranch. From what some have said in earlier posts, the high-tech industry has grown near the 15 (I have no idea if this is true) so many well educated, high earning families that live in the newer communities East of CV may not even need to commute this route. For full disclosure, I'm not looking in 4S or CV. I just have an opinion that the high CV premium (relative to history) is not as sturdy as some have proposed. Sorry if I'm belaboring the point, I've just seen way to many people lose their shirt using assumptions based on faulty premises (San Diego housing will never go down because it is sunny = they are not making land anymore = Carmel Valley housing will never go down because a certain demographic values education). I assume Asians are price sensitive or they would place all their children in Francis Day Parker rather than the public school system. If an adjacent neighborhood that offers similar features with high quality education (and improving through self selection) at a more affordable price, why wouldn't individuals in this community take the opportunity to save several hundred thousand dollars on a home. I assume this is why CV became popular in its early years. As 4S ranch matures, what does this do to the CV premium 5yrs from now? Maybe someone should ask Pardee Homes at Terramar (PQ new build) what demographic is looking at their offerings. I have some personal anecdotes but will keep them to myself for now.

If I were a 4S guy, I'd stay off the freeway, go up El Camino Real to San Dieguito Rd. and take that all the way to north Camino Del Sur and then it's another 5 minutes after that. You also bypass all 10 lights on I-56/Camino Del Sur. I’m with Ex-4S renter.
