[quote=4plexowner]just curious – how many families making $100K or more are interested in living in the $400K Clairemont house?[/quote]
They definitely exist. Typically, they were either high-end blue-collar, teachers, or single-income professionals. We hang out with a few $100K+ families in the area. We are all happy to be living within our means.
Roughly the premium between here and Carmel Valley for the same size house and lot is about $300-350K. For the same size house on 25% smaller CV lot, you still pay $150-$200K. That comparison makes it a palatable choice for many.
The parts of Clairemont that you can see from the major roads are not so nice, and there are areas to avoid, but the comment that “most of the area is ghetto” is not one borne from in-depth knowledge of the area.
