My family has lived in Clairemont for 7 yrs and we love it!! The location & community is amazing. It’s a melting pot of cultures with 10-15 min drive to beach.

I have lived in Clairemont/Linda vista for 33 years and I love it!

As a long time resident in San Diego city and County, your descriptions needed more clarification. You treated Clairemont and Vista as suburbs, when in fact, one is a neighborhood in the City of San Diego and the other is a city by itself. I would have made the distinctions clearer as you described each.

This is so weird. I’m a born and raised San Diegan who has lived in Chicago, now Aurora CO, and I’ve been to every state except Alaska and Hawaii. I’ve never heard of there being “suburbs” in San Diego. San Diego is not Chicago or New York or LA where the city is distinct from from everything around it. The cities I named actually have suburbs because the cities actually incredibly urban. San Diego has the vibe of a giant suburb. Everything around is just their own cities or town. Like Oceanside has never been considered a suburb of San Diego. It’s just Oceanside. This video is odd to me but I’ve been seeing a trend of people saying “suburb” of San Diego.

A pal and his wife just got the hell out of north county San Diego. They observed the negatives and realized it was time to leave after many decades living there.

you forgot to mention the roads looking like tijuana and college blvd taking forever to drive on. LOL

Areas of the city of SD - North Park, South Park, Hillcrest, Mission Hills, City Heights, Universal Heights, Golden Hills, etc. Those are areas of the CITY of SD.

Great video.

You forgot Encanto and National City all close to downtown.

You had until you listed Fallbrook being a cute little town 😂

The most searched city in the nation during 2023 on Zillow‘s website was Chula Vista, according to Zillow’s December 2023 report.

Where's imperial Beach?

What about Tierrasanta?

you should do a video on dreams for all program

Del Mar, Solana Beach, Carmel Valley, North Park/South Park/Hillcrest...?

It surprises me nobody knows Bay Terraces, even born and raised San Diegans. For the most part, Bay Terraces has beautiful views, great schools and close to everything. Yeah Paradise Hills and National City is close but so is Bonita and east Chula Vista. If you are looking for large homes with beautiful views and affordable prices come check it out. I have been here for 3 years and my family loves it.

None of them include the Hoods or Barrio Logan lmao, no mention of Camp Pendleton or other bases. Most of these towns are heavily influenced by the Veterans who used to serve, got out and bought homes in SD. Dictates the policies in these nice suburbs.

Lol, now I understand why all of us locals are getting pushed out and outbid. Please stop and make your own area a place you want to live in, and don’t take from those of us who have made San Diego what it is. Y’all don’t fit here anymore. The beaches are crammed, traffic is getting horrible, and the parks are ridiculously packed—looking at you, Balboa. Need a nightlife? Create a nice club. Need a hip café? Open one up. Need diversity? Invite some immigrants. Need a place to be open-minded? Be the first to do that in your town or city. Start a club, IDK. 😅. Also I work with the homeless and majority are not even born or raised in San Diego

San Marcos?
