We are moving to Encinitas this coming summer and I am wondering if any of you would offer some feedback on your experience raising a family there - schools, activities, whatever comes to mind. Thanks!
Thanks for all of the great feedback! We are super excited to move to Encinitas.
Although I didn't have kids when I lived in Encinitas (we moved in 2006), my husband and I loved it there. It is very family friendly-lots of parks-lots of kids. The neighborhood we lived in was full of kids and all of the neighbors knew each other and were very friendly. Proximity to shops and restaurants were great. Lots of activities-parades, Oktoberfest, 5ks, etc. You'll love it!
You have made an excellent choice. Encinitas is one of the two or three most ideal communities in San Diego County. The pace is slower, families are friendlier, there are lots of medical resources, and you will not lack for services. Best to make actual decisions on schools once you are "on the ground." Will you be looking for a public or private school?
Best of luck!
My name is A., and I live in Encinitas. I love it here because everything is convenient,as far as shopping. My children go to a private school in a neighborhing town, so I cannot comment on the schools. Encinitas is close to everything as well, so you are not driving too far to get to family activities. This sounds pretty general, but if you would like more information, please feel free to write me.
great area You have chosen well. (I don't live there - just nearby - so I cannot give you personal details)
