[quote=Andrew32]profhoff – are looking to purchase to live or as an investment property?
I’ve been eyeing 92011 to buy in the next few months (currently renting in PQ) and one concern that is keeping me from seriously considering coastal neighborhoods like Waters End is the # of a vacation rentals I see on Airbnb/VBRO. Right now, there are 5+ in Waters End alone.
for me at least, i feel like that will take away from the community aspect of buying into a neighborhood (presumably for good schools + families).[/quote]
Id stick to the east side of the 5 if buying for a family as a long term residence. Living that close to the beach comes with lots of things most dont consider until they get there. You really have to want to live by the beach and use it almost daily for it to make sense IMO. Ive been around here for 30 years selling real estate most of that time so I think I have a good sense of things.
