Ladies of San Diego, help me!

I've asked this before, but it's for real now, and I need to focus! My H will be working downtown. I would like a place with good schools that isn't more than a half-hour commute from there. Where should I look? People have suggested eastern (newer) Chula Vista, El Cajon, Poway, Rancho Penasquitos, etc. Others have suggested just forgetting the commute and moving up north to Carlsbad and letting him ride the Coaster down.

Where do you live and do you like it?

North is where it's at baby.

Check out Del Mar, Solana Beach, Encinitas and Carlsbad. Carlsbad is about as far north as I would go.

There is Coaster access in Solana beach and potentially also Encinitas.

He'll be able to get downtown in 30 from any of those driving - maybe 35 from Carlsbad. The issue will be coming home - the 5 can get pretty crappy during evening rush hour.
