Actually, I’m not making it up and you can say whatever you wish to defend your own visits, but when we visited probably upwards of 5 times to Santee in 2008 since we seriously considered buying, we took 1 look at another family visiting Riverwalk and that alone changed OUR minds to live there. My point is that for some folks, the negative stigma and the work in process that’s ongoing will keep them out and affect housing values due to demand from those folks…
Again, I’m not stating everyone who lives there is a tatooed wife-beating shirt wearer with barefoot kids; and that person looking probably doesn’t even live there now, but that’s what we saw and it was enough for us to move on and keep looking.
In the end, people will see what they choose to see, but I certainly can agree with some of the other not so rosy comments of Santee having visited many times…
