Home designs are capitalizing on the popularity of in-home suites. Commonly referred to as in-law suites, this home addition is now being occupied by more than one demographic. Most traditionally, an in-law suite was a place for older generations to occupy and be close to family and loved ones. However, now grandparents, boomerang kids, caretakers, and even dual-career homebuyers are seeing the potential that can come with having a segregated living space. According to a 2013 NAR study of buyers, an in-law suite was one of the rooms that buyers were willing to pay the most for, with 20 percent of buyers saying they would be willing to pay a median of $2,920 more.

“What are the best schools?” is by far the most common question I receive from my out-of-town clients. And, as a relocation certified agent, I get asked that question a lot. Since I am a local mother of three who has made some connections in the Poway Unified School District, I thought I would share the best ways I’ve found to search for the ideal school for your children, whether you are considering a public, private, or charter school.
Here are a few of the best websites you can use to determine the best areas to live in and schools for your kids within San Diego County. Since you are likely a busy parent and professional like me, I will share my favorite website first.

I’ve seen the Estates at Del Sur through Jessica’s Google Glass picture tour, but last week it was time to see them on my own and one thing that stood out to me was … the stagers in these model homes used so many wine bottles!
Granted, the bottles are a part of three very nice features of the house. Downstairs there is a bar/wine area with more than ample storage space, a sink, and a tall, spacious wine refrigerator. Between the wine fridge and a beautiful chandelier is a series of metal wine racks.
Upstairs, the master bedroom has beautiful built-in cabinets including two separate spaces for storing wine.
