To clarify, these 2 listings refer to another complex, one right next to UTC mall (Macy’s side) – called Vista La Jolla townhouses – they are not in La Jolla Village Square. I’ve looked at a couple of them there a couple of years ago. VERY HIGH HOA – $400 / mo – much more than any MR you would pay in PQ or SR (and MRs are not quite forever you know, and they are fixed). Besides, the HOA there did not take good care of the exterior (at the time) – some of the stucco was crumbling, stained, etc.
EDIT: the HOA is on top of an already higher price that what the OP is intersted in. IF each $100 in monthly fees is equivalent with 20K in price (which I am not sure about) that is equivalent of paying for low 500K SFR…
EDIT: at that time, I found that Chase would not lend on that complex. I don’t know if others do, or if things have changes. They all have approved lists of condo complexes.
