My parents live in a SFH in 92115, east of SDSU and north of College Ave. Not very close to where you are looking at condos, but still interesting.

Some interesting facts:
1. This particular area in north 92115 used to feed into Mann/Crawford, but for the last ~5-10 years, children in that area can enroll (WITHOUT lottery) into Lewis JHS and Patrick Henry HS in Del Cerro/San Carlos. These are much “better” schools. Hardy Elementary on Montezuma is also good, and it is also fairly easy to “lottery” into Hearst Elementary on Del Cerro Blvd, which has an API 942 for 2012.

2. Many of the homes on my parents’ street are the ones being converted into “mini-dorms”. This is not good for my parents, unless they decide to convert their own home into a mini-dorm and buy elsewhere. However, it may be interesting to some of you. I have literally seen real estate investors walking up and down the street scouting for new properties to buy.

Still, fairly affordable area… and decent schools, too… if you can deal with all the college kids.
