just curious – how many families making $100K or more are interested in living in the $400K Clairemont house?
we’re most likely talking 3/1, 1000 SQFT with 1 car garage – built in 1950’s and most likely needs serious updating

Count me in as one of those who would buy there at that income level. (Well, an historical version me anyway).
When we bought a 3/1 1100 sf house in Clairemont back in the mid 1990’s we made a combined 80K (probably the equivalent of 120 K in today’s dollars). When we moved out in 2000 we made well above 100K, but still felt comfortable there.
Regarding areas, Mount Streets are actually pretty nice in many respects. West Clairemont in areas adjacent to Bay Ho and Bay Park can be quite nice as well. Some areas are indeed “ghetto”.
One major downer is the local high school. I wouldn’t plan on staying in public school beyond 5th grade.
