RP is an older area, mainly built in the 1970s and not maintained well. Most of it looks like rental neighborhoods with lots of junky cars and RVs parked on streets, yards poorly kept, asphalt shingle roofs. Certainly not prime real estate. OTOH, it is not far from the coast. I looked at homes in RP, but after seeing the junky look of it, decided against it. I think RP will suffer more because of its lower appeal. I am curious though if there are any parts of RP which are nicer than what I saw, i.e. newer or better kept, on quiet streets (no road noise or noise coming up a canyon), with a decent sized yard.
