looking at this property on the map brought two thoughts to mind:

1. it gets hot there – if you are used to living near the beach this will be an adjustment – trading cooler weather for the ‘privilege’ of owning a starter home is not a trade I would make – I’d rather be a renter near the beach than a sweaty home debtor

2. it isn’t close to the freeways – on the map it looks like there is easy access for commuting but I would want to see what the roads were like during my own commuting times – spending 15 or 20 minutes just getting to the freeway is very frustrating for me – suggest you try your commute from that location and see what it is like
