The Downs

"The elementary and middle schools both have no sidewalks to walk to and from, even though they are only a few blocks from our home. They are highway roads. Also there are no school buses out here either. So unless you plan to drop your child off and pick them up daily, this isn’t an ideal location. "

"Bonsall is on of the last remaining hidden jewels of San Diego county. Here, you enjoy the bucolic semi-rural living while yet being 15 minutes away from the stuff you want and need. This little community of 4,000 is neatly tucked into in valley 180 feet above sea level bisected by the San Luis Rey river (dry 8 months of the year) and encased by hills dotted with oak and blanketed with chaparral. In exchange for the inconvenience of being 51 miles from downtown San Diego, you will not only be rewarded with gorgeous views every day you look out the window and drive the smooth curvy country roads, but also get one of the top school districts in the area. The high school is on the tech cutting edge with small class sizes and high quality educators. By comparison, living in a similar level school district in the San Diego area will cost you at least another $300,000 on the price of your home. I had never heard of this little town when I was looking for my home, but one visit, my first, I was hooked and knew I had to live here... never look back never regretted it for a minute. Better hurry before everybody else finds out about this little Paradise! 🙂"
