    • Santaluz is a gated community just up from Del Mar. It's where my son is working now and he gave us the grand tour. Many luxurious homes are scattered over the hillsides and there are beautiful facilities such as tennis, golf, club house, restaurants, spa...all done with great care and good taste. Every building has a tiled roof and there is a lot of nice stonework everywhere. Here is a shot of the mens grille....no women allowed. I was able to step in long enough for a photo, but this is definately a male domain. Just off the golf course....a cool drink and quick lunch.

    • Famed golf course architect Rees Jones designed the course using all the area's natural beauty and topography to its best advantage. The famed San Diego Charger, Rolf Benirschke has enjoyed the whole experience and high level of service at Santaluz. The grounds are meticulously kept. My photo cannot do it justice. The weather is a golfer's delight. Not terribly affordable...but if you are offered the opportunity to visit...or play...don't miss it.

    • Beautiful island....very posh. Colorful little shops and boutiques. Flower stand on the corner. My husband wanted to see the military base where he had been stationed so many years ago. We drove past that gorgeous hotel....and enjoyed the architecture along the way. Even their police station is an attractive building. A very expensive community.

    Off The Beaten Path: the search for affordable housing...

    • My son found a sweet apartment in this building across from Balboa Park. Nice neighborhood (Starbuck's nearbye) and it has a fantastic rooftop garden. It is challenging to find affordable housing in San Diego nowadays. The average price for a single family dwelling is now at $450,000. Of course condos and apartments are in the upper ranges as well.
    Finding interesting architecture in addition to location and price range is a real tricky procedure. I think my son did very well. If you are planning a move to San Diego...better start looking early.

     I just visited SD recently with my sister. We roamed Coroando again and the Gaslamp Quarters with my great nephew. We had a very nice time. I enjoyed your lovely tips. Thank you!    		LoriPori Mon Sep 14, 2009 18:26 UTC
