1) Price always has to be first. If it has a beautiful view but you can’t afford it …well you can’t buy it.
2) House has to come in second. Since houses are more plentiful that either houses with views or neighborhoods, there’s more choice, and it’s the space within your house that you occupy most of the time, not the neighborhood. However, if you have kids you may decide neighborhood is more important. Also, you don’t want a mansion on skid row, but that usually doesn’t happen.
3) I would then go for view, since neighborhood in the sense of community is a misnomer in California, at least to me.
4) So neighborhood loses out.
In an ideal world where money is no object, these would not be mutually exclusive.
