The Case-Shiller Home Price Indices are out for May, and San Diego saw a 23.2% decline in prices year over year. That’s the bad news. The good news is that if you are looking to buy a home in Scripps Ranch, you now know who your management company will be.
It’s been quite a little project, but our interactive companion map to the table of Scripps Ranch Homeowners Associations (brought to you by EditGrid) is mostly complete. I say mostly, because I know of one subdivision for which we are missing information and another four which I somehow failed to include in the map, but at this point, finding the missing data is like a little game of “Where’s Waldo?”
This little labor of love was created using Google mapping. Ultimately, my goal is to include a photo for each subdivision. Of course, we have created a monster which we will have to continually update, but it beats the heck out of spending my time obsessing over those wacky Case-Shiller dudes.
We have long been acquiring and posting floor plans on our web site for the various Scripps Ranch neighborhoods. Our newest creation represents our latest installment in our information overload series. This will permanently reside on our web site under the “Scripps Ranch ‘Hoods” tab, and now that we have more or less answered the question of who does or doesn’t pay Mello Roos, I am off to figure out what other useful neighborhood information I can provide that people don’t know they need or want.

Love it. You’ve got a good collection of data on SR, which of course you knew. And, I already knew that we don’t have mello roos or HOA in Canberra Park — but I had to use your web site, years ago, to figure out that we lived in Canberra Park!
Also, there’s a small park on Forestview Ln - just east of Pine Falls - that you’re missing. There another small park near Jarebek, but I can’t recall specifically where. I’ll have to find it on a future run around the neighborhood.

Jim, Thank you for the missing parks. I confess the parks were an afterthought and just from memory (of too many hours spent trying to entertain the little natives over the years). I think the one by Jerabek you may be referring to is a little pocket park on Semillon. I will try to add these in my free time. By the way, feel free to point out any other omissions. This is one of those projects that will never truly be finished.
Our next project is getting back to the neighborhood descriptions page. That will take some time.
By the way, if anyone wants to save me a trip to the file archives, I apparently am missing the HOA and management company for Aspire/Encore.

I have to say the map is awesome! We are big believers of providing niche area information so people can learn what a community has to offer from the comfort of their computer.
Your map really takes providing detailed information to another level.

Now that Kris has finished her part, the pressure is officially on me - I only have 84 more HOA/developments to take a picture of and create a short description for and my work on this little project will be completed. At two per week I should be finished by sometime next Spring.
