Yes, Flu, I had considered recommending to investor RPV and Laguna Beach. But he is from an area of 1-4 acre wooded lots with a wide rugged river rushing through replete with a natural waterfall with large boulders and river rock AND less than 15 miles to DC! It almost resembles a (colder foilage) example of the island of Kauai, sans the moss and palms.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t the waterfront homes in RPV inside of a convenant and/or HOA? If there are actually beaches there, aren’t they small and private, like Laguna Beach? I have not been inside RPV but have only seen it from binoculars from the green bridge (this dates me – LOL) outside Long Beach. Since investor was looking for a non-commercial place to semi-retire, I did not know if he would be interested in living inside of a covenant/HOA.
TexasLine made some good points about Coronado. Yes, some of the streets are wide but I maintain that investor and his wife would feel too claustrophobic living there.
investor, I’m sure you’re aware Coronado is NOT 70 degrees 365 days a year. It has its share of cold breezes and rain and 50 degree weather, just like the rest of the CA coast. I’ve also rode bikes there in 90 degree weather. I don’t think there’s anyplace in the continental US with 70-degree weather 365 days a year :)[/quote]
Well, the dude said he was going to get a 2/2 3/2. Which I would pretty much eliminate most SFH…Hence, that would probably mean HOA. But as far as HOA are concerned, the it depends on where you live.
RPV older communities, ones with actual yards, aren’t usually subject to HOA. If, however, you decide to purchase in newer areas, like former Marineland/Donald Trump’s pet project, etc, well you would have HOA.
RHE has both older/newer communities, some not under HOA.
In PVE…Good luck…The city pretty much controls what you can and can’t do, and hefty fines.
