Pros and Cons of San Carlos?

Asked Fri Mar 28 2008, 22:02 by Kraig - San Carlos - General Area - 5 answers

Chuck Gillooley answered:

As Arn correctly states, the home values in San Carlos have weathered the recent economic storm very well. In fact, the average and median sales prices have actually increased slightly over the past couple of years, and many homes are still selling with multiple offers. That's the sign of a desirable community.

Cons? There are a few -- San Carlos has many lots that are 5,000 square feet or smaller, especially as you get closer to El Camino. This is a by-product of how the area was subdivided after WWII. If you want 1/4 acre, it's going to be tougher to find in San Carlos than perhaps in Emerald Hills. Also, there are some folks who view the lack of a high school in San Carlos as a negative. I believe that Carlmont and Sequoia are both excellent options, so I'm not convinced it's an issue at all. Just something to keep in mind.

Best of luck with your search! - Sun Apr 20 2008, 07:02

If San Carlos high school students have to go to Sequoia instead of Carlmont, will that hurt property values?

Asked Fri May 11 2007, 15:55 by John Spottis… - San Carlos - Schools - 4 answers

Chuck Gillooley answered:

Sequoia has really turned things around in the past decade. They currently offer an International Baccalaureate program that few other schools (an none in the Sequoia Union HIgh School District) offer. The current principal has hired some of the best and brightest young teachers on her faculty, and she's a very hands-on administrator, so the behavior problems of the past are largely gone.

Best of all, Sequoia's enrollment is far below maximum, so the student/teacher ratio is excellent. Carlmont is bursting at the seams, and for the first time in recent history they have denied transfer applications.

In the upcoming decade, Sequoia will be home to many high school students from San Carlos and I firmly believe there will be no negative impact on property values. - Sun Apr 20 2008, 06:43
